Church forced to ask Massgoers to fund windows

ONE of Waterford city’s proudest parishes is being forced to ask its mainly elderly congregation to dig even deeper and help save their Church’s magnificent stained glass windows.

Now they want the business and wider community to come on board and support the worthy fund.

The nine windows at St John’s Church desperately need restoration, or else it is feared they could fall in. The parish has failed in its bid to get either Government or National Lottery funding and the city council can’t help out either.
