Two large windows from the old side rooms were replaced with standard windows to match other windows and external brick work around these windows also completed.

We hope to start those as weather gets stable and better. Security systems and fire alarm system\u2019s contract with suppliers are progressing and hoping to do the rough low voltage work before we put the dry walls.If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact Project convener Mr. Vinod Thomas or Parish office bearers. Please continue to support the project through your prayers and generous financial support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sponsorship Update:<\/strong> There are still more items that are available for sponsorship.
