It has been 130 years since the first service held in St. Mary's on 9 February 1895. As the church community grows and facility demands change, there is a constant need for the building to be maintained and upgraded according to the needs of the congregation. Over the last couple of years, the church has undertaken her most extensive maintenance and restoration works.
It began with urgent repairs to plug various leaks in the main building's roof, works that escalated into the restoration of the main roof trusses. With the completion of that phase of works, secondary repairs continued with other roof trusses as well as the long overdue overhaul of the building's electrical system.
While the major repairs have been completed, there are various other smaller works that continue to require attention, including the regular maintenance of existing building services and facilities.
Further details on specific scope of works undertaken are as follow:
