Keeping The Doors Open

We are planning for the future of the Chapel with efforts continuing to focus on understanding the extent of the work and funding needed to ensure the Chapel can continue to tell it's story of emigration and immigration from the shores of West Cornwall, how it rolled with the boom and bust of mining, and it's role providing spiritual and pastoral care and community to people who, to this day, stand firmly together to build common ground. 

The Chapel is now beginning a new chapter of its life, imagining a better future, where the lessons from history contribute to a fair, just and prosperous Cornwall.  Where once again the Chapel stays relevant (and standing) for the community it has served past, present and future.

Please note two small but important amendments to the St Just concert poster. The Douglas Woolcock Foundation Trust is very dear to West Penwith. 🙂 ... See MoreSee Less
