Gratitude for CPC Funding for Meeting House Steeple

To the Editor,

On behalf of all who care deeply about preserving the historic character of Manchester-by-the-Sea, we want to extend our sincere gratitude to the many residents and friends who contributed so generously to the restoration of the First Parish Church Meeting House steeple.

Thanks to our community’s remarkable spirit, we not only met our fundraising goal of $20,000, we surpassed it, raising more than $30,000 which in part supported the seven-month project. That speaks volumes about what this town values and the pride we take in our shared landmarks.

The restored steeple, along with its new LED lighting, will stand as a beacon over Manchester-by-the-Sea for many years to come. It is a symbol of both our history and the collective goodwill that continues to shape our future.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible.
