Village Chapel Development Fund (Part 1)

The parish of St. Ann made a ground breaking approval at the parish council AGM in December 2009 to apportion part of the fund raised during the feastday celebration for the improvement/development of village chapels with pressing need. For this reason the parish council had increased the target to be raised at this year's feastday celebration.

In my many visits with the priest to the villages I have seen some very rundown chapels but the community are either too poor or small in number that they are not able to raise fund to make improvement to the chapels. The situation is very pressing indeed and it is my hope that some good persons reading this will come to the rescue, supporting this project.

For a start I will show the pictures of St. Paul's Chapel, Kampong Batu Gong, an Iban village off 18th Mile, Kuching/Serian Road. The Chairman of the chapel's committee is Mr. Felix Endawie.

Last week the members of the Iban Apostolate of St. Ann's parish organised a one-day community work to help cleaning up the chapel's area.
