Building Works

Update on Sacristy Renovation: The demolition work has been completed and the brickwork will have been finished by this weekend. The next step will be to complete the roof in both the sacristy and the organ gallery and this should be completed by 21 August. Once the roof is complete, the interior joinery and other work can start. The project is on track and we hope to have it completed by 27 September, the day Confirmation is being celebrated in the parish.
