Townawilly Parish Restoration Fund – St Agatha’s Church & St Patrick’s Church need funding to extend the graveyard at St Agatha’s and to repair the roof at St Patrick’s. The parish is looking for support and would be extremely grateful for all donations. €1,000,000 is needed to fund both projects.

We have set up a Go Fund Me page for donations to help us in our parish projects, in St Patrick’s & St Agatha’s.
