The chancel roof repair has begun
The scaffolding is up and the old tiles are coming off — the work will continue until the autumn.
On Monday 11 May the repair of the roof over the chancel began. The scaffolding went up last week, and today the team started removing the old tiles.
The scope of the work includes replacing the roof covering with new beaver-tail tiles laid in a scale pattern, replacing four rafters attacked by insects, treating the whole roof truss, new flashings and gutters, and repairing the plaster inside, above St Anne's side altar. All under the supervision of the heritage conservator, in accordance with the conservator's permit.
The cost is about 310 thousand złoty, of which 180 thousand is covered by a grant from the Pomeranian Provincial Heritage Conservator. The parish is providing the rest.
The work will continue until the autumn. During this time please take care — the area around the chancel on the sacristy side is fenced off, and the church can be entered only through the main doors and from the north porch. No one may go under the scaffolding or leave bicycles there.
Masses continue as usual. On weekdays you may sometimes hear the work on the roof — thank you for your understanding.
Offerings for the repair can be made in the collection on the second Sunday of the month and by bank transfer with the reference “dach” (roof).
