Repairs and Redecorations at St. Teilo’s update
Progress during the last week has not been as positive as had been hoped. Due to the change in weather the external decoration of the Church has been delayed, which means that the external scaffolding will still be in place for a while longer! In addition, two of the team who were to undertake the second project, the new lighting for the Church, are now suffering from Covid, so the start of the work has been delayed. The Internal Redecoration of the Church will not be completed during the current period. It is likely the team will be starting work on Monday, October 23rd. Weekday Mass arrangements for that week will be announced nearer the start of the work.
Four projects which will be undertaken over the next few months:
a) Repairs and redecoration of the external concrete walls which are suffering from steel reinforcement failure,
b) Creation of a ladder and safety walkway access system to enable access to the Church roof for repairs and maintenance,
c) New Lighting for the Church and
d) Internal Redecoration of the Church and Parish Hall
These are the first major works in the Church since the re-ordering of the Sanctuary and addition of the Parish Hall which took place 18 years ago. Over the coming weeks, we will explore fundraising approaches to cover the costs of these works.
Please note: Due to the works and Canon’s holiday St. Teilo’s will be closed on weekdays from August Bank Holiday until the end of September. There will be no weekday Masses in the Parish during this time. Weekend Masses will continue as usual.
