The community behind the Trinity Botwood Church has rallied for an initiative to help restore one of the church’s most prominent features.

Over the years, patrons of the church have donated stained glass windows in memory of loved ones and other significant events.

Structurally, the windows are now past their prime, and they are not visible from the outside of the church. Because of that, the church made the decision to restore the windows.

Tony Sceviour, the chair of the board for the church, says support for the initiative has been snowballing ever since it began. He says it started off as something they wanted to do, to something they are going to do. Now everyone is pushing to make it happen.

Sceviour says restoring the windows is not a simple as it may sound.

The windows were custom made, so they have to remove the stained glass insert, replace them with thermal pane windows and put the stained glass back inside those windows again.
