Sacred Heart's Refurbishments

 

                

           Church in urgent need of repair - photos 2006

   

Following are some pictures taken to show you the extent of the decay

which has affected our church in recent years.

Phase one of the refurbishment will hopefully prevent

any further damage by ensuring the

church is both wind and water tight.

Only by your help and prayers and financial support

will we be able to move forward to the next phase

and the eventual complete restoration

of our magnificant church building.

Church Refurbishment -

Phase One - Completed

Supported by various funding partners including Historic Scotland, Heritage Lottery Fund, Scottish Churches Architectural Heritage Trust, Glasgow City Council and parishioners & friends of Sacred Heart we have just completed the first phase of a three phase essential refurbishment of our church building.

 

The first phase involved the re-roofing of the whole church, treatment for damp and replacement of guttering. Essentially the church has been made wind and water tight once again.

 

Much is still to be done to ensure the building can be made secure, such as replacement windows, repointing and repair to much of the stone work etc........

 

Whilst we do have some support from various agencies we do need your help to move on to the next stages of the work. 

If you can help please send donations payable to -
