Dear Parishoners,

It was decided to commence the work on 13.08.2019 with the roof and to continue the other work thereafter. Please refer the attachment for details of roofing work to be completed as prepared by the engineer. We will be signing the agreement with the contractor during the weekend and all the payments will bneie made Only with the approval of the engineer. We will be making periodic visits to the Church to monitor the progress and will keep all of you updated.
Thank you and May God bless you all.
