Glengarriff Sacred Heart Church

Fundraising for Glengarriff Sacred Heart Church

Where we are:

Glengarriff in West Cork is a place blessed with natural beauty and a strong sense of community. Flanked by Bantry Bay and the Caha mountains, and with Garnish Island and the Nature Reserve Woods, it makes a breath-taking environment to visit or live in.

Who we are:

Community is at the heart of Glengarriff and the Sacred Heart Church holds a deeply important place in our hearts. It plays a central role in parish life, serving as a gathering place for weekly worship, ceremonies and a place for solace and reflection. It is the parish Church for Glengarriff and Bonane and further emphasizes its importance within the whole area.

Why we need your help:

The church needs major restoration work, including repairing walls, repainting & flooring, which comes with a significant cost of approximately €100,000. Such an expense is challenging for a small community like ours.

Restoring a place of worship goes beyond mere construction work. It is about preserving a symbol of unity and providing a sanctuary for both locals and visitors. The Sacred Heart Church offers a peaceful retreat where individuals can find comfort and a sense of belonging, regardless of their backgrounds or beliefs.

How you can help:

With the work starting in June your support can help the restoration project become a reality for the parish of Glengarriff and Bonane. By contributing you will be helping to maintain a vital place in the community where we gather for worship, ceremonies, solace, and reflection.

Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a meaningful difference in preserving this treasured place of worship, community gathering, and the important celebrations of our lives. To find out more, please contact Father Niall Howard below.

Finally, please take a moment to share this with 5 of your family or friends.

May the peace of God be with your always.
