BUILDING COMMITTEE MESSAGE, MARCH 2020 NOVENA

On behalf of the Building Committee, I greet you all and welcome you home, to Our Lady & St. Jude Parish Naggulu—the National Shrine of St. Jude.

As you were previously informed; we benchmarked with similar projects, revitalized the building committee, got a technical team and agreed on the new concept designs.

Since then, the team has worked tirelessly to complete the architectural detailed designs. I am happy to report that they are now complete. The geotechnical and land surveys were done and the structural designs, ventilation, lighting, and acoustics plans are also complete.  In order to fulfill all the requirements, the following studies are now being undertaken:

• Traffic Impact Assessment
• Environment Impact Assessment
• Demolition and Excavation Plans
• Storm Water Management Plan

These studies should be finished within the next 2-3 weeks.

Arrangements are being made to move to the parish hall which shall be our place of worship during construction. We hold regular meetings every Wednesday and are working with Rev Fr. Male who is concerned with such projects in the archdiocese.

Summary of Funds received in the various initiatives from Nov 2019 – Feb 2020

Vigorous fundraising activities for the project resumed in November 2019, starting with the Christmas envelopes. We are currently running the; tent sales, kamu kamu and the Tofaali lyo mu Musingi campaign which was launched during this novena. I strongly appeal to you to participate in this initiative by contributing at least 50,000 shillings each for the foundation of the church building.

May the Almighty God continue to bless you.

Mr. Michael K. Sebalu

Vice Chairman
