Look How Far We’ve Come! Rebuilding Our Lady of Montserrat in Betty’s Bay
Our Lady of Montserrat (OLM) church rebuilding project in Bettys Bay, is well underway! The rebuilding project received donations in excess of R50 000, meaning completion of the church should take about 3 more months. This church community is beyond grateful for the support and asks if people would once again help them with phase 2 of the reconstruction.

Constructing the ceiling and trusses
The OLM church project consists of Phases 1 and 2. With phase 1 (the church) nearing completion within the budget, the focus has moved onto funding Phase 2 (overnight accommodation for officiating priests). This is necessary due to the distances the officiating priests need to travel to say Mass. Please support Our Lady of Montserrat parish in Betty’s Bay who lost their church in a fire in 2019.
