Repairs at Old St. Mary’s Clonmel–

We are now working towards re-roofing, repairing and making St. Mary’s Hall fit for use.

To that end, there will be a series of fundraisers in the coming Autumn/Winter season. Apart from making the building fit for parish use, we also hope that we will be able to rent it out for the use of other organisations.

FUNDRAISING IN AID OF ST MARY’S HALL RESTORATION

Barbeque – Saturday, 17th July In conjunction with Lodge 44, Clonmel, a barbeque at the Rectory – €15, children free – tickets from Bob Savage or the Rector!

St Mary’s Hall –

The toilets are almost finished, at last – the work provided occupation during the bad weather.

St Mary’s Hall –

All the rubbish has been cleared out of the hall and the fas workers have given it a coat of paint – it looks great, but there is no heating. The radiators and pipes are there – we need a boiler if we are to use it during the winter months. The roof needs replacing, but the building is safe for use. Any ideas? We don’t have the cash to do the needful at the moment.

St Mary’s Hall –

Our Fas workers are clearing out all the rubbish from the hall at the moment and will be giving it a coat (or two) of “magnolia” paint. The toilet renovation will be completed shortly and, although there is no heating, we will be able to use the premises for some activities. There are plans to finish the temporary repairs on the roof, which will give us some time to raise the funds for the major repair and renovation that is required.

St. Mary’s Parochial Hall –

We have begun our preparations for to make applications for planning permission and for applying for grants for the refurbishment of St. Mary’s Parochial Hall. This will take time as it appears we may be entitled to apply for a wide range of funding. But we will still need to raise funds of our own!

St. Mary's Parochial Hall

The Select Vestry has committed itself to re-roofing and restoring our parish hall in the short-time rather than long-term. Our fundraising in the future will go towards getting this vital premises to our parish life into a state that will facilitate bringing life to our parish. It’s going to cost a lot, but with grants and our efforts we can do it.
