‘WE ARE HIS HANDS’ – A Cooley Parish Project

Since the outbreak of war in the Ukraine, individuals, families and communities have rallied together to house the fleeing migrants to our country to provide a safe space for those affected by this war. Others have made significant financial assistance available to those in need.
Our Parish Pastoral Council discussed in depth at a recent meeting on how we as a community and the surrounding areas could help in any way as this war enters its second year.
The ‘We Are His Hands’ project is a plan to totally renovate the house situated at the Old Mill, Grange, Co Louth beside the Church of Saint James.
This dwelling consists of 3 storeys and basement area.
We propose that the renovation is carried out by volunteers from the parish and beyond. This venture is an effort to involve members of our community in providing accommodation for people from Ukraine who have had to fled from their homeland. The long term plan for the house would be that it would form part of a community hub that serves the needs of our community long term. It is an opportunity for people to unite in an effort to help. If you can spare some time, no matter what your skill set, we would like to hear from you. Contact the Parish Office at 0429397617 orcooleyparish@gmail.com We have set up a Facebook page – We Are His Hands - that outlines professionals, tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts that are needed to make this much needed renovation possible. This page will be updated regularly as the project progresses. Together we can make a real difference!

The name of the project is taken from a quotation from St Teresa of Avila.
