The organ appeal has passed the halfway mark

There is sixty-three thousand two hundred złoty in the account for the restoration of the organ. That is more than half the amount needed for the first stage of the work, which the organ builder has costed at one hundred and twenty thousand.

We raised the largest part during this year's pastoral visits — forty-seven thousand two hundred złoty. The rest comes from the offerings at the Lenten Lamentations, transfers to the account and money from the boxes put out at concerts.

The first stage covers new bellows, repairs to the wind chests and cleaning the façade pipes. The organ builder from Elbląg who carried out the survey in the autumn can begin work this autumn if we raise the full amount. During the restoration a replacement instrument will be placed in the church.

We post the accounts of the appeal on the noticeboard at the end of every month and publish them on the parish website. Payments can be made to the parish account with the reference “organy” (organ), or by BLIK to the number given in the Contact tab.

The next opportunity to support the appeal is the organ concert on 15 March at 17:00. It will be played by Mr Krzysztof Mierzejewski from Toruń — the programme includes Passion music and works by Bach.
