Bailieborough News. July 24th 2017 Matthew J. Cullen.
Update on St. Anne’s Renovations:
St. Anne’s Church is closed at present to facilitate renovation work and is on course to be opened on time for the 7.00pm Mass on Saturday, August 5th. Painting, decorating, electrical and plumbing work is nearing completion in the main body of the Church and the floor work—which will include sanding and waxing of the floorboards and the laying of a stone carpet on the main aisle and sanctuary, will take place over the coming two weeks. This is delicate work that when complete will require several days without any disturbance. The project will not be completely finished on the 5th of August—just the elements that required the total clearance of the seating from the Church and the use of scaffolding. Work will continue on St. Joseph’s Chapel, the Sacristy, storerooms, the roof and the Parish Centre throughout August. Some minor works will also require completion in the main body of the Church in the weeks after it re-opens.
Blessing of the Graves:
The Annual Blessing of the Graves will take place in St. Anne’s Cemetery on Sunday, September 3rd. Now would be an ideal time to tend the plot of a family member or loved one.
