ACP Update for Sunday 15th March 2020
The All Saints’ Cathedral Building Project [ACP] is a special project of the Cathedral.
The current Sanctuary has been expanded three times in its life and now fills to capacity with an overflow of people occupying three large tents introduced on the Church compound over 20 years ago. The Cathedral project has lasted over 15 years and has so far gone through the hands of three (3) Archbishops and five (5) Provosts. This makes the parishioners eager to see the new Cathedral completed.
The new 5000-seater Cathedral designed in 2010 is being implemented on limited land space on Nakasero Hill, in Kampala City, as a storied complex in 3 phases:
- Phase 1 covered the basement parking for 150 cars and new Cathedral Offices lay out. This was completed in 2012 and obligations were settled in 2015;
- Phase 2 covered the Super Structure of the Sanctuary to achieve a roofed building in October 2019.
- Phase 3: has commenced and will include Finishes, Closures, Fittings, Equipment Installations and Furnishing.
During this year 2020, we will focus on the Sanctuary interiors and associated building services. In 2021, the Sanctuary Exterior, Bell Tower and Offices [lower ground] will be done. Furnishing and Equipment Installations may be achieved at any time, as the Lord provides the resources.
The projected cost for the Sanctuary Interiors, Closures and Sanitary facilities is estimated at UGX 7.5 Billion to cover Works, Consultancy services and Taxes. The Archbishop, Provost and ACP Team are grateful for all your contributions to the project.
We encourage you to continue to: Pray, Participate, Provide and [mobilise] Partners for this great work as you honour God.
