St Ann Parish expands with RM6.7 mln office, classrooms for growing faith community
PADAWAN, March 8: St Ann Parish marked a historic milestone today with the official inauguration and blessing ceremony of its new administrative office and religious classrooms, built at a cost of RM6.7 million, to enhance services for its growing faith community.
The event was officiated by Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuching Simon Poh, who underscored the parish’s dedication to fostering spiritual growth and education.
“This project embodies the generosity of those who believe in strengthening faith and ensuring a brighter future,” he said in a media release today.
The newly constructed facility features 14 religious classrooms designed to accommodate more than 25,000 parishioners from 51 villages and nine residential areas.
The relocation of the administrative office from Baruk to this modern space is expected to streamline parish operations and improve efficiency.
This achievement was made possible through generous contributions, including RM2 million from the Unit for Other Religions (Unifor) and RM200,000 from Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Lo Khere Chiang.
In addition, a RM1.7 million parking facility project is currently underway to enhance accessibility for worshippers.
The ceremony also included the handover of the Occupancy Permit (OP), cultural performances, and the blessing of the newly established spaces.
With these new facilities, St Ann Parish is now better equipped to support religious education, youth engagement, and spiritual formation.
The parish remains committed to its mission of serving the community and welcomes continued support to ensure its role as a centre of faith and learning for future generations. — DayakDaily
