A huge thank you for your continued support as we upgrade the lighting in the Cathedral.

Work in the Sanctuary, the Lady Chapel, and the Blessed Sacrament Chapel is now nearing completion.

Although it is quite a small corner of the Cathedral, the Shrine of the Sacred Heart and St Michael has the added complication of needing rewiring, which is the next stage of our project. The new lighting scheme will not only enhance the prayerful aspect of the Chapel but it will help us to reduce further the running cost and our carbon emissions.

Thanks to your support and generosity thus far, we have raised £7,862 of the £19,000 needed. To contribute to this project, please speak to one of the priests after Mass or contact the Cathedral Fundraising Manager, Marie-Louise Van Spyk (email: cathedralgiving@rcdow.org.uk, or telephone 075 9685 5460).
