BUY-A-TILE APPEAL

BACKGROUND

The ornate wall mosaics, reminiscent of the Byzantine age, attract thousands of sight-seers each year.

However, parts of the intricate patterns have now begun to disintegrate.Rector Michael Murtagh said the church, acknowledged as one of the most beautiful in the city, was now in the third phase of the three-phase plan to restore the building to its former glory.

Fr Murtagh said £300,000 had been raised so far but a total of £1.5 m was needed to complete the work.

"Now we hope to tackle phase three and the interior of the church which will include the renovation of the ceiling, the floor and shrines and the mosaics, as well as upgrading the lighting, sound and heating systems."
