The vision of a parish centre for the CPoNP

The new building will represent the vision and functioning of a missional parish for the 2020’s and beyond. It will have the capacity to give priests and parish staff; offices; meeting rooms for RCIA; Children’s Liturgy; St Vincent de Paul; Liturgy/Finance, Health & Safety Committees, and the multitude of groups that meet within the parish. There will be a connection between St Joseph’s Church and the hall below.

The challenge we face with the St Joseph’s presbytery/parish office is that it has passed its economic life: Built in 1958 it represents the vision and functioning needs of a parish from the 1950’s - Father Simon Story
