The exterior of the Weekday Mass / Prayer Room.
The wooden panels will be stained

Is there a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow?
Work on the entrance lobby nears completion.

The trench for the sewerage pipes from the new toilets.
Saturday
The view from the main door of the new entrance lobby.
Two items of interest…
High up on one of the windows of the north side of the church we see WB inscribed
into the stone.
Are these the initials of the stone mason who carved the stone for
that window?
This hammer was found in the higher section of the roof.
Could it be that it was left
behind by some of the men who worked at the building of the church in the 1870’s?
