One of the exciting parts of the #restoration works has been the discovery of wonderful signs of the past.

RESTORATION UPDATE

It’s been another big week of work, both inside and outside the Cathedral.

✅ The roof slating is now call but complete on the southern side .

✅ Inside, the spoilt render is being removed — a dangerous and dusty job, because of the lead paint attached to the render.

✅ We have great news from Steenson Varming our contracted lighting specialists, designing the lights for the Nave.

Their recommendation, is to create a pattern based on the Cathedral, with the sidelight mimicking the shape of the stain glass window, with ‘fretwork’ on the base being an upside down ‘relief’ of the organ pipes. Doesn’t that sound amazing?

Here’s an idea of their design work !

Please keep the project in your prayers! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 … See more

Have you ever wondered how our heavy marble statues such as St Patrick and St Joseph are moved? The answer is ‘very carefully’ with a winch lift like this! To ensure there is no damage to our precious statues and marble baptismal font, they have been wrapped, packed and dispatched for safekeeping! … See more

Today we have been praying for the repose of the soul of Fr Laurie Blake, beloved Parish Priest at the Cathedrsl for so many years. Fr Laurie launched the first fundraising campaign, which allowed the parish to undertake the essential underpinning of the altar. It involved cleaning out tonnes of rubble from under the altar and creating a crypt, for the bishops who are interred there.

We pay homage to His vision and leadership by continuing his vision for the full restoration of the Cathedrsl to its former glory.

We were pleased to be able to share our story with the Canberra region !

How lovely to be featured by @smalldetails Thank you!

Work is now well underway on the roof replacement. At the same time there is work underway to underpin the Bourke st end of the cathedral and divert rain away from the Cathedral foundations. … See more

Thank heavens the rain has stopped! It means that the roofers can commence replacing the slate roof tiles on the cathedral.

They are hard at work on the south-eastern side and God willing , we will have a new roof in about 16 weeks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks Goulburn Post for this interview with Adam Godijn! We are very lucky to have him with Oliver cleaning and restoring our beautiful Stations of the Cross.

This week marks the exciting next stage of the Cathedral restoration. First up, a meeting with the key contractors and the project management team with the parish restoration group.

We worked out the logistics, strategies, cleaning, signage, documentation, heritage photography and so much more.

We are so lucky to have such a skilled group to shepherd this project.

We are excited!

Now that we have the cathedral restoration decisions made, our mind has turned to the land around the cathedral. How an we reactivateSt Brigid’s school?

Work is getting underway on the restoration of this historic building and precinct. The Heritage Council has approved our plans, next step is the DA through Goulburn Mulwaree Council. 🤞🏻
