Community concert to launch parish fundraising effort in Greencastle

St Mary’s Church in Ballybrack

The first of a series of parish fundraising events will take place this evening, in Greencastle Community Centre, as the local community comes together to support improvement works at St Mary’s Church in Ballybrack.

The concert, which begins at 8pm sharp, aims to raise funds for several important projects currently planned for the church. These works include the extension of the graveyard, the replacement of the church’s spouting, repainting of the exterior of the building, and the renewal of the sound system.

Admission to the concert is €10, payable at the door, and all members of the community are warmly invited to attend.

Fr Colm O'Doherty said he is looking forward to seeing a strong turnout tonight and encouraged parishioners and friends of the parish to come along and support the effort.
