The Hampshire Downs campaign will ensure that all of our worshipping communities are maintained and improved.

It will include:

• A new Pastoral Centre at St Peter’s, serving all our worshipping communities and supporting all our ministries

• The partial reroofing of St Gregory’s along with repayment of the loan for St Gregory’s pastoral centre.

• Much needed modification of the toilet facilities and improvements to the riverbank at St Thomas More.

The total target for the Hampshire Downs campaign is £1.8 million. Of course, this is an ambitious target, but we are already nearly half-way there, and success will underpin the development of our Catholic Community in the years ahead.

While the Hampshire Downs portion of the campaign understandably concentrates on improving our facilities, the greater purpose is the further development of our pastoral mission.  Building our relationship with each other, creating a welcoming atmosphere and celebrating our faith community are central to our Catholic principles.
