Children & families
A welcoming place for children’s activities, growing in faith and sharing family life.
HALL RENEWAL & EXTENSION
Building for
the Future.
A place to gather.
A place to belong.
A place for everyone.
Help us renew St Ann’s Hall and make more room for the people and community we love.
OUR VISION
There is always
room for one more.
A child who feels at home. A new family finding friendship. A familiar face over a cup of tea after Mass.
These are the moments that give our hall its purpose. Renewing it will help us offer that welcome more fully, with accessible, flexible spaces for parish life and our wider Kingston Hill neighbourhood.
I warmly invite you to join us through your prayers, your time and whatever support you can give.
Fr James Raj,St Ann’s Catholic Church, Kingston Hill.
WHY WE ARE RENEWING OUR HALL
A much-loved place.
A growing need.
Our hall has served parish and community life since the 1960s. Generations have gathered here to celebrate, learn and care for one another.
The 2025 maintenance survey identified substantial work needed to the roof, heating, electrical services and other facilities. Access, kitchen provision and flexible space also need improvement.
This refurbishment and modest extension will help us care for the building and the people who use it for years to come.
