ST.
PATRICK'S CHURCH
MAJOR RENOVATION
On
Monday 6th October 2003, work began on the renovation of St. Patrick’s
Church, Mohill, Co Leitrim. The Church stands proudly at the top of the
town, but after many years of wear and tear it was crying out for an overhaul.
The Church was re-roofed in the early 1960’s and the Sanctuary restyled
in 1985. Apart from that the Parish Church has cost the people of Mohill
very little over the years. However, the people of the Parish wanted something
to be done to bring new life and energy to the Church. Mr. Eamonn Hedderman,
Architect drew up elaborate plans for the refurbishment of the Church,
which would cost in excess €2 million. After meetings with the Parish Pastoral Council and a Public meeting for all Parishioners, a compromised plan was worked out whereby the following areas would be addressed:
