  • Update on our Saint-Martial churches census: Tarn and Aveyron in the spotlight

    Dear friends and heritage enthusiasts,

    Our research and mapping work continues actively for our association! We have just carried out an important update to our directory of churches and sites dedicated to Saint-Martial.

    Specifically, our surveys and cross-checks have allowed us to integrate all the missing buildings in the Tarn, while refining and correcting our inventory for the neighboring department of Aveyron (12).

    This in-depth work strengthens our documentary database and provides an ever more precise vision of our shared regional heritage. Feel free to explore our pages to discover these developments, and a huge thank you to all our donors and supporters who make these actions possible!

  • The association’s projects are taking shape!

    Since the formalization of its new statutes last June, the GAYCRE À VENIR association has been actively moving forward to preserve and enhance our hamlet’s heritage.

    The past few weeks have seen significant progress:

    • Creation and structuring: The association officialized its status and bylaws this summer to confidently carry out upcoming restoration projects.
    • Studies and quotes: Initial consultations with local craftsmen are underway to accurately estimate the required restoration costs.
    • Pastoral visit: Father Kinda’s visit is scheduled to discuss the preservation and life of our church.
    • Institutional relations: A meeting with the Cadix municipal team is planned for mid-September to present our projects and coordinate our actions locally.
    • Communication tools: The official website is now operational, and presentation flyers are ready for distribution!

    A warm thank you to everyone already supporting us. Stay tuned for the next steps!
