After five years of restoration work, St. Joseph’s Church has reopened its doors to worshippers. Its first-weekday mass was held yesterday. Many people worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this a reality. While it is not possible to mention each and every individual who has supported us, we would like to acknowledge, in particular the support of the National Heritage board’s Grant of $1.952mil in total (from 2011, 2019, and 2020 respectively). The latest repairs to the monument were supported with the total grant of $1.42mil against the $8mil required for the monument.

Restoration works for the church’s main building, a national monument gazetted in 2005, and its Parochial House, a conserved building, cost about $25.2 million.
