Reasons for New St Ann Church

1. Present "Baruk" can no longer accommodate growing numbers of parishioners especially from the neighbouring Housing estates,
either for fellowship gatherings or worship.
2. The thatch roof is leaking very badly and rapidly rotting.
The roof has been replaced with "Spandex" material in 2011.
3. Plastic chairs used for Sunday worship are disintegrating over time.
4. The lighting, ventilation, parking space, toilet facilities and other amenities are either very poor or non-existent.
5. Living quarters for priests and staff is inadequate and uncomfortable.
6. There are no proper classrooms for catechism.
7. There are no specific areas for the various lay ministries to meet.
8. Reception area, catechetical office and priests’ office are very small.
9. There is no Day Chapel for private prayers, daily masses and small functions.
10. The parishioners themselves are pleading for a more comfortable setting in which they can pray.
