Cathedral & Hills Pastoral Area 2025 Property Proposal

.This year the Diocese has undertaken to create full reports for all parish properties on the current state of repair and works/maintenance that is required, some of which is very urgent. This is a difficult thing to have to face especially when funds are very limited. However, the faith across our Pastoral area is strong and this is the most important thing. As good stewards of our properties, sometimes we have to make hard decisions for the situation we find ourselves in, being unable to maintain all our churches and presbyteries.

The Combined Finance Committees of the Cathedral and Hills Pastoral Area have met with Bishop Dooley to consider these property reports, which make for sobering reading. For instance, quotes are urgently be sought for the major works that are needed on the Cathedral’s upper South windows and stone that are in a precarious state of deterioration!

The Combined Finance Committees now welcome you to view these reports along with a significant proposal on how to move forward.
