Community & Spiritual Connection Holy Trinity 4.jpg 1/8 Reopening of Holy Trinity Church Westport TLK news: Holy Trinity Church in Westport reopened on 23 January 2026, almost a year after Storm Éowyn forced its sudden closure due to serious structural concerns. Although the storm's damage was not immediately obvious, engineers, conservation architects and safety specialists later confirmed that the ceiling above the nave and the richly decorated sanctuary had become dangerously unstable. There were real fears that large sections of plaster could detach and fall, making it impossible for the congregation to gather safely. The reopening was marked with an ecumenical service of thanksgiving, during which Rt Rev Bishop Michael Burrows preached. In his sermon Bishop Michael commended the patience of all concerned in what had been an extended period of repairs and explained that this thanks giving ceremony was an opportunity to give thanks to God and to the wider community whose support sustained the parish throughout the year-long disruption. He paid particular tribute to Newport contractor George O'Malley and his team, whose careful and highly skilled restoration work made the reopening possible. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, Fr John Kenny extended a generous invitation to the Holy Trinity congregation, welcoming them to worship in St Mary's Catholic Church. Rev Cousins expressed deep gratitude for this hospitality, which ensured the parish could continue gathering for worship despite the closure of their own building.
