I’m sure everyone will be pleased to know that the repair to the Pieta is coming along. The statue is being repaired by a long established company called Lewis & Lewis and they have also recently carried out work at St Bede’s church in Widnes. Jeanette and David, who are carrying out the work have been kind enough to send photographs showing the progress that is being made. The first photo is interesting as it shows the original colour of Mary’s gown as the statue has been rubbed down to reveal this darker colour.

We will be holding an event in St Marie’s on Saturday 14th June at 2.00pm to 4.00pm where we will be displaying the church notice books and also unveiling the restored Pieta. All are welcome to attend and there will be the usual free tea, coffee and biscuits. We hope you can join us.
