A SINCERE THANK YOU
€125,000 Raised
After much hard work "and through a myriad of Fund Raising events, the Fund Raising Cttee. of All Saints' Church are pleased to announce that the Church Restoration works have been completed. The work has been done to a fine standard, which will safeguard the future of the little architectural gem that is All Saints' Church on the Howth Road.
The Church was constructed under,the patronage of Lord Ardilaun, Arthur Edward Guinness, and designed by George Ashlin, RHA, and dedicated in 1889. The small but beautiful Gothic Revival church has weathered somewhat over the 100 years or so since its completion, requiring extensive works to ensure its survival for the next century.
Rev. James Carroll, Rector of All Saints' spearheaded the Roof Restoration fund-raising, establishing a committee and overseeing not only the fundraising, but also the successful architectural and conservation works, culminating in their completion this Spring.
The Fund Raising Committe feel that this work is a lasting legacy and tribute to their retiring Rector Rev. Jim Carroll.
A big "Thank You" is issued to the whole community of Raheny and beyond - to local businesses, supporters, clubs and residents who have supported the various events that have helped to bring this appeal to a successful conclusion.
What an achievement!
