Our Lady of Fair Haven Cathedral Needs Your Help

The Roseau Cathedral was badly damaged in 1979 by Hurricane David and repairs and renovations were made to the roof, but the Church is now desperately in need of major repairs to the entire structure. Water damage and termites have taken their toll and threaten the preservation of the rare original paintings and other irreplaceable historical artifacts. It is estimated that the restoration of the Cathedral will cost in excess of $2.5 million EC dollars.

On Sunday, 17th August 2003, His Lordship Bishop Malzaire of the See of Roseau  launched the beginning of fundraising activities for preservation of the two century old Roseau Cathedral. This edifice is not only a historical site but has also recently become a major tourist attraction.

Activities have been planned to raise the 2.5 Million EC dollars within a 2 year time span but this is a gargantuan task and Bishop Malzaire is appealing to the generosity of Dominicans both at home and overseas to help save Dominica’s historic Cathedral and a National Treasure.
