EXCITING NEW PROJECT
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DERBY
Diocese gives the go-ahead for the establishment of a new

A Catholic ethos-based residence; a house of study and house of

To provide for long-term funding for this new venture, it is necessary
to build up a good capital base. For this reason we are asking for
support from the wider Catholic community.
How can you become a friend of Newman House Derby?

month)
