Mass Times / Holy Days Obligation
In order to finance the refurbishment of the Cathedral Parish Hall, the parish had to take out a loan of £480,000 from the diocese. This is now gradually being paid back.
By the end of 2007 David Worsfold and the Fundraising Committee had had yet another very successful year managing to raise £34,000. This brought the grand total raised over the last five years to £174,000.
Among the many events organised by David and the committee last year was a fascinating evening at Ingatestone Hall when more than £500 was raised. With the permission of Lord Petre it is hoped to hold a similar event in May 2008 featuring the Music and Poetry of the English Countryside.
Many other events are also in prospect for 2008. Click here for a FULL LIST
