Donations for the Chapel Interior Enhancement
The construction of our magnificent Chapel is now complete. It goes without saying that the College Community is excited; not just by the beauty of the building but the many ways it will be used by the Whitefriars community. We hope that the Chapel will provide a place for the building and witness of a faith community that encompasses not only our current students and families but also our past students and their families.
Extending beyond the celebration of College Masses and times of prayerful reflection, the Chapel offers to families past and present a beautiful space in which
to gather in faith for the celebration and acknowledgement of the significant moments in life: marriages, baptisms, anniversaries and funerals.
You have the opportunity to contribute to the enhancement of the Chapel interior in one of two ways:
Select a particular item from the list below for which you offer to defray part or the whole cost.
Offer a general donation towards the total cost of the Chapel interior.
Donors will be acknowledged (optional). Any contribution towards the cost of these furnishings would be very much appreciated.
