Votive Candles
Our insurance Company have advised us that recently there has been a fire in a church in Scotland. The candles were left burning when the church was closed and locked after Mass ended. The fire damage was not insignificant – the cost of repairs to smoke damage is in excess of £100,000 – and so we are asked that as a matter of sensible fire safety all lit Votive candles are extinguished before the building is closed and left unoccupied. Rest assured they will be re-lit later.
Your Help Please !!!
There have been several incidents recently where a problem has occurred – but we were not informed. Two examples were – all the electrical power was lost due to a fuse tripping, a roof leak occurred flooding the church carpet. If you are aware of any such incidents can you please ensure that you notify Fr Simon or Rebecca Finnegan ASAP. Thank you for your co-operation.
