About 80 people tucked into a Chinese banquet at the Nanango Cultural Centre on Friday night as part of a fundraiser to help restore a local icon.
Nanango’s Catholic Church will be celebrating its centenary in 2017 and the local parish community has been working hard to make sure the church building is looking its best.
Earlier this year, the exterior of the building had a facelift, assisted by a $42,339 grant from the Heritage Nanango Community Fund.
Now the parishioners, assisted by other members of the Nanango community, are raising funds to repair the inside of the historic building.
“We are looking at raising some money tonight to paint the inside of the church,” parish priest Fr Nigel Sequeira said.
“But this is also a community event to bring people together.”
While the diners enjoyed food prepared and served by volunteers, there was live entertainment on stage provided by local singers and musicians.
