Tickets will be available on Monday, 1st February 2010 from Parish Hall, Malvern Terrace As we begin 2010 we acknowledge the grateful support of people to our past draws. This generosity has enabled refurbishment to be carried out at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, St Oliver Plunkett Church, strathfoyle and most recently phases 1 and 2 of the stonework at St Columb's Church has been completed at a cost of almost £185,000. Again this work is only possible because of draw promoters and members, as well as weekly contributions to our offetory collection. Phases 3 and 4 of the stonework refurbishment are scheduled to commence in the spring at a total cost of almost £200,000.
