We have sold our former Mass Centre and Hall in Cranham, and are now moving ahead with plans to replace the ageing Social Centre on St Mary’s Lane. We need to raise another £1 million to make it happen, and are launching our major fundraising appeal at the start of Advent.
Our first fundraising event is the CDOT Voices Christmas Concert which is being held in St Joseph’s Church on Friday 27th November from 7.30pm, with all welcome in the social club afterwards. Tickets are on sale from the repository before and after weekend Masses, or call at the parish office during opening times.
As well as performances of from the CDOT Choir, we will be joined by children from St Joseph’s Primary School. Our Knitting and Craft group will have items on sale and there will be a raffle – please bring cash for this.
There will be a presentation after all the Mass on the weekend of 28th/29th November – Advent Sunday – at which Fr Matthew will present what we are trying to accomplish, what we need and how, with the support of the whole parish community, we hope to get there.
You can read more about our building plans and donate to our appeal already via our website. Following the appeal launch the brochure will be available online together with the latest plans for the new building, and a new online shopfront where you can sponsor bricks, toilets and more.
