What is the project? Why is it so Urgent? What is its purpose?
Our project is to build a Parish Centre within the grounds of the church. Because in Kilcock we have no common places for public gatherings and meetings. The proposed Parish Centre comprises a single storey building of 315 square meters located to the south side of the church and comprising
of a large meeting hall, office and meeting rooms and coffee dock. Further to this landscape to the front of the site continues out to Scoil Choca Naofa
encouraging interaction amongst a closed off space. The first part of the project is to donate church land to allow the provision of a pathway to the school to ensure that children going to Scoil Choca Naofa do not walk on the road. We also intend to widen the narrow and dangerous curve for the safety of the public and the other road users.

This project costs in the region of €1,000,000 to enable all our various groups to participate in the life of the community. We have €382,000 assets at the moment.

Purpose
Provide a space for Youth Outreach, a space for cultural, artistic and entertainment activities, safe facilities for our elderly to engage, facilities for musical training by different groups, facilities for the various committees that underpin parish life and wider circle, facilities for administration and commercial activities of the parish (shop), enable faith formation, facilities for refreshments after funerals and other such events, opportunities to preserve and promote Irish Heritage and traditions. We are currently reaching out to the Diaspora and local community to take part in this endeavour to ensure this facility is available to all for many generations.
