Monastery Restoration Phase 2: Chapel Repairs
Benedictine Monastery and its community are actively raising funds for the essential repairs to the Chapel, which has some serious defects and is in need of urgent attention.
The recent condition survey report has identified a number of urgent repairs to the Chapel, namely:
- · Roof
- · Gutters and rainwater pipes
- · Front facade
- · Roof above the Chapel Entrance
- · Corridor to Chapel
- · Chapel Library and Chapel Office
Having now received quotations for this urgent repair work, we are faced with trying to find some £90.000. This amount far exceeds the Monastery's available funds.
Due to the ongoing repair works and high costs over the last few years, it has been a constant struggle to keep up with payments. After some professional consultation, we have decided to appeal to grant-giving bodies who, hopefully, will provide us with half of this amount i.e £45,000. We would hope the other half will come from launching an online campaign, organising fundraising events and appealing to generous benefactors.
We would be grateful for any donation, however small, to help us repair and preserve the Tyburn Monastery Chapel. Our mission is Eucharistic Adoration, celebrating daily Masses, praying the Offices in addition to many other spiritual benefits that this monastery with its work can offer the Faithful and the Community.
The names of all our benefactors are kept under the Altar and Holy Mass is offered every month for them and their intentions.
With our prayers and gratitude,
Mother Prioress and Community
