Scaffolding is currently being erected, and full scale work should begin by the end of this week.
This meansthat we will need to make some changes to church opening; these will be as follows:
- Weekend Masses will be unaffected, and will continue to be celebrated in the church
- Weekday Masses and other morning services will be celebrated in the church, but at an altar at the rear of the building.
- PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR THE DURATION OF THE WORK, THE CHURCH WILL BE CLOSED ON WEEKDAYS EXCEPT FOR MASS AND OTHER SERVICE TIMES.
- We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause while this very necessary work is being carried out.

Exciting news in recent weeks means that we have now exceeded our target for fundraising for PHASE 1 of Project St. Patrick, and can begin immediately to look at PHASE 2.
This has been made possible through a great deal of work done by parishioners and by friends and supporters of St. Patrick's parish, and through some very generous grants made by Trusts and Funds. The latest, from the Landfill Scheme, has been a tremendous award of £78,385!
