ST. MARYS’ CHURCH LISTOWEL IS OPEN: The Parish Finance Council is delighted to announce that our church which was closed for the past two months for renovation is re-opened this weekend 3rd Aug. 2014. This was a major project, new floor and then the retiling. Also the piping of the central heating was also totally replaced. The arches of the main body of the church are now lit up with under floor led lights. While there was no work done to the sanctuary itself, we replaced the wheelchair ramp onto the sanctuary and re-carpeted it. We wish to thank the Architect, Richard McElligott and Cisco Woodframe Homes Ltd. Contractors, Lixnaw who carried out the project with competence and professionalism and did it all on schedule. We are also grateful to the group who kindly helped with the general clean-up in preparation for the opening and indeed the Parish Folk Group and the Parish Choir who are singing at our masses this weekend to mark the occasion. Well done all!
