Newly-renovated Roseau Cathedral roof<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

His Lordship, Bishop Gabriel Malzaire, has revealed that the renovation work at the Roseau Cathedral has not moved at the rate as expected and will need an additional 3 to 4 million dollars for its completion.<\/p>\n

The Roseau Cathedral, which is over 150 years old, represents historical, cultural and religious significance for the people of Dominica and its renovation is being done in phases. The project started back in 2013 and has encountered several delays.<\/p>\n

In July 2019, Dean of the Roseau Cathedral, Fr. Nigel Karam, said that the Cathedral was completely covered but there were still finishing touches to be added to the roofing and that is expected to be completed by the end of July.<\/p>\n

He added that although the damage caused by Hurricane Maria was \u201cfairly extensive\u201d, most of the work is already done and what is left is mainly the cleaning and redoing of the floors which were completely damaged by the weather conditions. He said the majority of the tiles on the roof remained in place and proved to be resilient.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cathedral, unfortunately, has not moved at the rate that we expected,\u201d Bishop Malzaire told Dominica News Online (DNO) in an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut right now we are at the stage of working on the flooring,\u201d he said. \u201cWe would need at least 3 to 4 million dollars to complete; right now, the monies that we have will only finish the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Bishop, when one is doing renovation work, it\u2019s almost difficult to gauge exactly what is needed, \u201cbecause as you go along, you realize you have more than you expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInitially a project that should be a $2.5 million project has gone to $12million,\u201d Malzaire stated.<\/p>\n

Meantime, he said the roof is finished.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that, we have, of course, the windows and doors. Then, we have the choir loft; then we have to finish the ceiling\u2026,\u201d Bishop Malzaire explained. \u201cAfter the floor, the last major work we have to do is the ceiling. So, I think we are on our way.\u201d<\/p>\n
