Following the recent Chaplaincy Council meeting, the Church’s Fabric Committee has laid out the proposed works for the restoration of our church buidling. The total estimated cost is €250,000 and our fundraising campaign will draw on two sources: public funding and private contributions.
An application for public funding is currently in progress, with a decision expected in May 2026. If successful, this funding could cover more than half of the total project cost. The remaining balance will be raised through private donations and a series of church-led fundraising activities. As a community, we are setting ourselves a goal of 18 months to raise the required funds and bring this important project to completion.
Some may reasonably ask why the church community is undertaking the restoration of a building that is in fact owned by the Cemetery Foundation. The answer lies in the shared value and purpose of the church. While the building is under the ownership of the Foundation, it remains at the heart of our worship, our gatherings, and our community life, and is a place of deep spiritual, historical, and cultural significance for all who live here. So it is not simply about ownership, but about stewardship — caring for a cherished space that serves present and future generations.
By working together with the Cemetery Foundation, we are ensuring that the church remains a welcoming and well-maintained place for all.
