Fundraising for Church project
Our parishioners are passionate about our Syro-Malabar identity, living and proclaiming the Word of God. The young and youthful are always buzzing with innovative ideas to explore and execute fundraising projects for the new church building. Even before the site at Siston Common was purchased, the congregation started voluntary donation
since 2014, by small acts such as regular standing orders, word-of-mouth donations from well-wishers, crowdfunding appeals via GoFundMe and numerous internal events.
We managed to pay off the cost of the Siston Common land purchase and initial costs approximating to £900K. This in itself is a miracle made possible by the hard work and forethought of each and every member of our amazing parish through the following means.
