St. Helen's restoration fund

Hello I'm Father Peter Needham the vicar and Parish priest of St. Helen's Athersley .

St. Helen's  is in trouble.

For  over 70 years I'm  proud to say that  St. Helen's has raised money to support the community,  take care of the less fortunate, help the vulnerable, feed the homeless, look after our elderly andbring the community together.

St. Helen's  is loved and well thought of in our needy community but our beautiful  place of worship  is falling  apart, we have concrete cancer,  damp due to holes in the brick work, because  it needs re-pointing, a roof that is not fit for purpose , plaster crumbling  and falling  off the walls, the carpet needs replacing, the Church  desperately needs redecorating, the list goes on.... we can't  go on like this.

This situation was bad before the  pandemic,  but now I just don't know what  the  future holds.

Please  help us, to keep helping you!    FAITH  makes all things possible. 
LOVE makes all things fulfilling , and
HOPE makes all things  work.

We can do this, but only  with your
help!

God bless you all and thank you. 

Love and prayers.

Fr Peter Needham.
