FACULTY APPLICATION
You may know that our churches have different altar frontals for different seasons of the year.
​
At Christmas and Easter we use one that is gold or white - the idea is that gold is a colour of celebration.
​
The current altar frontal is very drab, and does not bring to mind the idea of celebration, and we would like to replace it with a second hand frontal costing £180, which is to be funded from a legacy we received in the will of a former parishioner.
​
If you have any objections to this to must contact the Diocesan Registrar, whose details are in the formal notice below.
