We have a grant for the chancel roof repair

We have good news. The application submitted in the spring has been approved — the Pomeranian Provincial Heritage Conservator has awarded our parish a grant of 180 thousand złoty for replacing the roof covering over the chancel and repairing the roof truss.

According to the estimate, the total cost of the work will be about 310 thousand złoty. The parish must provide the rest from its own funds — from the offerings made at the patronal feasts, from special collections and from the savings built up over the last three years.

The state of the roof has long been a cause for concern. The tiles are cracked in places, and during a downpour in July water got inside and damaged the plaster above St Anne's side altar. The survey also showed that four rafters have been attacked by insects and need replacing.

The work will begin in the spring, when the weather allows, and will be carried out under the supervision of the heritage conservator. The tiles will be replaced with new beaver-tail tiles laid in a scale pattern, in keeping with the historic design.

We will keep you informed about the schedule and the collections in the announcements. We already thank everyone who has supported the parish over the last few years — without those savings we could not even have applied for the grant.
