The work on the Shrine Church has started, so pilgrims are requested to be careful around the Church and be respectful of the workers.
The details of what is happening are as follows, as announced in last Sunday’s Bulletin:
Major work on the Shrine Church will commence on Wednesday 14th August. Originally the work was to commence on Wednesday 7th August, Fr Richard was contacted last Monday morning (5th August) that due to delays in previous jobs, Penrose Park will now have work starting a week later. The copper gutters will all be repined and all galvanised down pipes, gutters and flashings (which have rotted through with age) will be replaced. The total cost of the job is $29,000.00. The work will take about 6-8 working days to complete and will be done by a local company, Reliable roofing from Moss Vale.
For anyone who would like to donate towards the renovation work please speak to Fr Richard, alternatively you can use the tap and go points or make a direct transfer to the Pauline Fathers. Details are as follows: BSB: 062 576 Account Number: 00910786 Account Name: Order of St Paul the Hermit
When the work commences, weekday Mass will be celebrated in the Old monastery. Sunday Masses will be in the Church as usual. Thank you for your understanding and also a huge thank you to those who have already made donations towards the work. Thank you for your generosity.
