Purchase of Sawmill Yard
God’s Cottage Charitable Trust recently purchased the old sawmill yard and field behind God’s Cottage. As we pray and reflect about its future possible use, we would be very happy to receive the loan of old photos which show what the yard was like when it was in full operation. Photos can be left at God’s Cottage, preferably in an envelope marked “for the attention of Fr. Doyle”. Do make sure to include your own name and address. Once scanned, we would be very happy to return all photos.
