Roof Restoration
A little update on the ceiling of Christchurch Hamilton.
The approximate cost is $70,000, although when the workers ascend they may find other complexities which will inflate this figure.
We have about 2/3 of this in the Roof Restoration Fund.
One way you may like to help us by 'buying a panel’. Each panel cost $66 to purchase and paint. You may even like to write a little something on the back for posterity. If you would like to make your donation tax deductible please use the glossy brochure available at the back of Christchurch or Fr. David could post you one. Otherwise you may like to direct debit with a reference. 'Roof Fund’. NAB account BSB:083-663 account no. 51580-7866.
