Rev Clement Scott's masterpiece, the St Michael and All angels cathedral, which was built between 1888 and 1891, has developed some cracks on its wall and roof structures, necessitating some repair work. As a result, the Management of the congregation decided to engage a contractor to carry out the repair work.
The work started on Monday, 19th September. As a result, the cathedral cannot be be used for worship over the next two months or so. All services previously held in the historical church building will be redirected to the Multipurpose Church Hall.
The 6 o'clock Chichewa service will now start at 5:45 in the morning, followed by the contemporary service (again in Chichewa) at 7:30, having been shifted from 7:00 am. Thereafter the English service will start in the same Hall at 9:20 am while the 10:30 service will start at the same time, but in the prayer room behind the amphitheater. The 5 pm English service will also be conducted in the prayer room.
The entire repair works will cost something in the region of k21million and has been divided into several phases. The first phase, which is the one that commenced on 19th September, will concentrate on the roofing structure. The other phase(s) are to come later.
