We are running a large fundraising initiative in the Parish this year with a substantial target of €150,000!
You will hear a lot more about this in the coming weeks.
Continuing to maintain the churches and grounds as they are into the future is going to be a huge challenge. Keeping the grounds alone in the beautiful condition they are currently in, costs a significant amount with regular cutting, strimming and tree surgery. The church structures are protected, and this makes the upkeep more costly across the board. The up keep of our cemeteries is also a concern with falling income.
Posters and flyers will be distributed and on view over the next few weeks explaining the necessity for ongoing structural maintenance of our church buildings and grounds into the future, to maintain the beauty and integrity of each, which is a much loved and valued feature of the splendour of North Wicklow.
