Fundraising to help restore a church in Jersey officially began on Sunday when the Lieutenant Governor opens the gardens at Government House. Fundraisers have already gathered �230,000 towards the overall costs of St Thomas Roman Catholic Church.
There are plans to restore the central aisle and install a sound and lighting system as part of the proposals to refurbish the inside of the building.
Campaigners hope to raise a total of �500,000 for the works.
