St. Anne’s Church: Renovations Update
The renovations to the Church and the Parish Centre have been progressing well over the past few weeks. The blockwork on the extension to the Sacristy has almost been completed and the chimney at the back of the Church which was causing dampness in the Sacristy and the Sanctuary area of the Church has been demolished. In the Parish Centre, the basement area has been stripped and new floors have been laid to accommodate a new meeting room, office and storage space. On the ground floor, the old sitting room is being converted into a meeting space and the kitchen and toilets are being re-arranged to accommodate public use. The chimneys which were allowing water to access the building have been demolished and new ones built.
Over the coming weeks work will begin on the flat roofs which are in a very poor state. At present, there is at least 2 to 3 inches of water trapped between the insulation and the concrete ceilings. Work will also begin shortly on the interior of the Sacristy and the Church.
Unfortunately, because of the nature of the works involved, and the poor condition of the interior, the Church Area Finance Committee have been advised that the Church will have to close during the summer for three to four weeks, from Monday, June 26th. This period will enable the pews to be removed and the painting, electrical and flooring works to proceed unhindered.
During this time, the Community School Board of Management have kindly given permission to use the Assembly Hall for Saturday evening and Sunday morning Masses. The Community Centre will be used for week-day Masses and in the event of Funerals, St. Anne’s Church, Killann, St. Patrick’s Church, Tierworker and St. Brigid’s Church, Tunnyduff, will be available.
