The 5 acres land acquired on 14 Dec 20 1 2 is located behind Selesa Court and SMK Bahang at Jalan Nosoob , Hungab - Kobusak , Penampang. The Development Plan was approved on 25 May 2021. Land fully reclaimed in Aug 2022. The reasons for a new settlement for the church : 1. The present church could not accommodate the growing number of parishioners; 2. Parking is a major pr oblem ; and 3. The church is not in a good condition. The Estimated Cost : RM 10 927 Million. There will be a 3 rd collection on every 1 st Sunday of the month in aid of St. Paul Nagasiba Building Fund . Your generous donation is very much appreciated. ----------------- BALANCE OF FUNDS TO BE RAISED 583,123.24 =========== CMI TIMELINE Blessing of Church 31 October 1993 Completion of New Hall 18 June 2020 Official Opening & Blessing of Hall 10 December 2022 Establishment as Parish February 2 nd 2023 WEEKEND COLLECTION (2 ND / 3 RD DEC 2023) Black: RM 8,718.30 Red: RM7,563.05 3 RD COLLECTION IN AID OF ST PAUL NAGASIBA BUILDING FUND ON 3 RD DECEMBER 2023 [ RM10,237.35 ] Thank you for your generosity.
