WET worshippers at a Great Harwood church have issued a plea for cash to pay for vital roof repairs.

Thousand's of pounds of work is needed to patch holes in the roof of Our Lady and St Hubert's RC Church.

Not only that but a large section of the building's electrical system must be replaced.

Father Anthony McLaughlin, who is also priest of nearby St Wulstan's, said: "We have a problem with the roof because letting in water.

"Last week, when it was raining heavily, things got very damp."

He added: "There's also a problem with the electrics. But it's such a big job that I haven't dared asked how much it will cost. It's likely to be in the thousands."

But already, offers of help have flooded in. The A Cappella singers have offered to give the proceeds of a concert to the repairs.

Organiser Anne Gray said: "We heard they were in need of funds and, being a local choir, decided to do our bit."

The A Cappella singers are performing at Our Lady and St Hubert's Church at 7.30pm on Saturday, June 15.

Tickets are available from the church at £3 (£2 concessions) or you can pay on the door.
