The appeal by the Oxford Oratory for funds to restore the murals by Gabriel Pippet in the sanctuary which I wrote about only ten days ago has already raised over £12,000, which is well on the way to the total required sum of £20,000. As a result the restoration work on the paintings will commence on Monday February 19th and is expected to take about three weeks to complete.
The Oratory website has a feature about the project which can be seen at Phase 1: Uncovering the Sanctuary Murals
An artistic resurrection well in time for Easter and a augury of more good things to come in terms of restoring the interior of St Aloysius’.
