Update on Church Renovation project (21April 2023)
Looking at the updated design and plans of the Church renovation project in the Church foyer, you may wonder where we are in the process. As we could not proceed with our ‘much larger project’ because of cost escalation in the building sector (Tender price quoted nearly 6 Million against our budget of 4.5 Million), we requested our architect to make some changes to the design to match our needs and budget. As you might have noticed in the updated design (updated February 2023), we keep the existing building structure and upgrade the sanctuary (Altar, Ambo, and Tabernacle), new flooring, new roof, Stations of the Cross, Marian Icon, reconciliation room, new sound system, curved pews and new Sacristy (existing library to be converted to sacristy). The current budget for the project is 3.4 Million and hopefully, we will be able to call tender by June this year and begin the major works sometime in September 2023. We are planning to do the ‘Sacristy Building Works’ in a few weeks’ time as a start of our Renovation Project.
I commend the hard work and commitment of the building committee members all the way along.

Our much awaited Church Renovation is about to begin and is anticipated to cost in the order of $3.4 million. After contributions from Parish funds, the “Be a Sponsor of Church Renovation” programme aims to provide extra funding for the Sacred Artwork that will adorn our new church as well as reducing the loan repayments to Catholic Development Fund and thereby reflecting our strong Parish Community.
