WELCOME AREA PROJECT SUGGESTED PLAN: Many thanks to those who constitute our Welcome Area Project Committee for the hard work put in to synchronize our suggestions. We now have a concrete plan that reflects the budget we envisage together with other important considerations. The vision now is to extend the Colonnade and create new sliding doors.
This will provide a larger welcome area where people can gather before funerals, weddings, baptisms instead of having to wait around outside in all weathers.
We would like to thank those of you who took time to look at the sketches we displayed in the Colonnade and appreciate your feedback. The team will look at these comments and use them to move to the next stage, which will be liaising with the Diocesan Architect.
As promised previously, we will also be presenting plans for the upgrading of the toilet facilities which also form part of this welcome area project.
“The Closer to Christ Campaign is a ‘call to action’ which invites parishioners to become more fully and sacrificially involved in the life of the Church”
£379,000 raised
118 pledges
£3,216 average pledge
Many thanks to all our Parishioners who generously continue to fulfil their pledges for this campaign; the central purpose of which is the continued support of our clergy at all stages of ministry. It will fund our seminarians and priests in active ministry and rejuvenate parishes, ensuring they have the necessary resources to provide a place for prayer, worship and community interaction, meeting a broad range of faith needs and giving them a platform to thrive. The campaign will also care for our priests in their retirement, recognising the vital work they have achieved in serving our diocese.
If any parishioners were not in our parish when this campaign was started and would like to pledge or offer immediate support, please, contact the parish office.
