Repair of Church organ at Blessed Sacrament Church
Webmaster • August 17, 2025
As you may be aware, we have not been able to use the organ in church due to the repairs required. The cost for repairs is just over £10,000. Currently, the Parish cannot afford to pay this. If anyone would like to donate towards this, please see Stephen. Please do not put any additional monies into the collection for the organ appeal as we need to keep a record of the amount raised. Any amount is a step nearer to our goal. Thank you. Stephen.
