He was a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVPS) for over twenty-five years, and a member of the Ste. Anne council, chairing its "conseil Saint-Louis" for more than fifteen years, and then assuming the presidency of the SVPS itself. During the 1910's he was director for three years of Ottawa's Le Droit newspaper. Laurin was an intimate friend of the famous Brother André, of Montreal, and when the clergy man travelled to Ottawa, he always stayed at the Laurin household. In 1942 J. P. Laurin & Co. was responsible for the rection of the Archbishop J. T. Duhamel statue in front of Notre dame Basilica as well as the tombs of three former Ottawa archbishops placed in the basement crypt. In1948, he was appointed knight of the Order of st.

Le village de Rockliffe est incorporé en 1926. À cette époque, il y a
certes de belles maisons dans le village mais, souvent, les citoyens
d'Ottawa y ont une maison de campagne. Un d'eux est le manufacturier de monuments funéraires J. P. Laurin. Les pentes très douces du parc de Rockcliffe conviennent aux amateurs de ski qui trouvent là à pratiquer leur sport favori. Le saut de ski qu'y avait été installé sert-if toujours. en 1926, aux sportifs aguerris? Peut-être, mais je n'ai pu vérifier cela.

L'extérieur de la cathédrale ne subit aucun changement d'importance
pendant la rénovation. Cependant, une statue de Saint Joseph avait été
érigée le 23 décembre 1931 dans la niche au-dessus du portail sud de
('église, porte qui donne rue St. Patrick. En marbre de Carrare et l'oeuvre
d'un sculpteur italien, elle fut un don de M. J.-P. Laurin, manufacturier de
monuments à Ottawa et de son épouse. Le piédestal de la statue, offert par
les employés de ('atelier Laurin, porte deux lis avec la devise «Allez à
Joseph». Le piédestal est creux et renferme toutes les demandes de faveurs
déposées au pied de la statue lorsque, avant d'être placée dans la niche,
elle fut exposée à la dévotion des fidèles, dans le choeur de l'église.
