At the end of the second week

Don't worry - it's only a temporary door

the footings of the new wall reach ground level

getting ready for the fancy brickwork

After the weekend work continues

The old screens are gone now

Just a few bits of metal holding the roof up

until the steel joists are put in

The partion where the new door will be

Old and (nearly) New side by side

'Try to enter by the narrow door'

or is it

'Form an orderly queue here, please.'

Parish Room - Work Commences

Work commenced on Tuesday 25th September - Monday was a complete washout due to the heavy rain. Access is now through the presbytery door by the church.

September Update

Following the pre-contract meeting on Wednesday 5th September between CP Associates, Tom Keville Builders, and Fr Philip McBrien, a date was fixed for the commencement of work.
From Monday 24th September there will be restricted access to the church to allow the builders to make best use of the time available. For weekday Masses access will be by the front door of the presbytery near the Second Lounge. For Masses at the weekends, parishioners will be able to use the main door of the church.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION ENROLMENT SUNDAY

 

Today seven of our children received their programme books for their preparation for First Confession and First Holy Communion. Over the coming months they will be learning about their faith and getting ready for these Sacraments of Christian Initiation, continuing the course begun at their Baptism.

 

As a Parish Community we will try to help them by our example and with our prayers.

Of your Charity
