New Church Roof -Abigail … the storm has been testing the roof of the Church. And in spite of the wind and the rain Balally has withstood the trial. During the week people have continued to hand in their donations to pay for the long awaited roof renovation. If you haven’t yet received a letter please lets us know, if your living within the parish but still wish to donate, please take a letter from the back of the church.
