I am delighted to tell you that after much hard work by members of the parish and several associates within the construction industry we received planning permission for our New Community Hall in early September 2025.

Fr Bob Davies ODC, Prior & Parish Priest

Reaching Out is our campaign to replace outdated facilities with a new Community Hall that will bring the church and local community together, strengthening community spirit.

The project includes:

• A modern, eco-friendly 250-seater hall, which can be divided into two soundproofed meeting rooms. It will feature a fully equipped kitchen, accessible entrances, toilets for all users, and ample storage.

• New storage and display space for St Joseph’s Furniture Market, along with a purpose-built facility including a toilet for volunteers. This will expand its capacity to support both the church and local charities.

• Relocation of two garages from behind to the front of the Priory to improve access to the new hall.

Find out more by downloading the leaflet here.  The drawings and plans may be found on the Buckinghamshire Planning portal.  Please look at our full fundraising brochure we are using to reach out to Grant providers.
