The Oxford Oratory
Oratory 150: Phase 2
Our church will be 150 years old in 2025, and we want to restore it to its lost beauty. To prepare for the future of our thriving ministry in Oxford we are embarking on some major works.
Story
We are currently raising funds for Phase 2. We have uncovered the stunning murals of Gabriel Pippet in the sanctuary. Now we need to restore the rest of the sanctuary to match.
The high altar will be restored in its original position, making the sacred liturgy even more dignified.
Meanwhile, the sacristy has developed structural problems and its flat roof is failing. The new plans provide a modern and carefully planned sacristy, doubling the floor space and storage.
