St. Joseph Cathedral Renovation-Update
September 29, 2011
The final "Global Fund " raising efforts resulted in raising as follows:
England/Australia $9,524.00 (41 families)
Canada /Denmark $24,200.00 (111 families)
USA/Australia $17,898.00 (68 families)
Total $51,622.00 (*)
(*) Please note that the amount includes $1,300.00 that was already been remitted to the Renovation Committee in Zanzibar. Also, the funds collected are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the fund raising efforts. And this fund raising would not have been possible without the support of the three committee members(England/Canada / USA) and the Zando Committee(Canada). May God bless you all for your kindness and generosity.
These funds are maintained in three different banks in England, Canada and the USA. Once we hear from the Restoration Committee in Zanzibar (RCZ), we will remit these funds to the Committee who is responsible for the restoration. We will continue to accept donations as long as we are holding the funds. Any future fund raising efforts will be left to the individual committees.
Phase I and II of the restoration are almost done and the RCZ is planning to implement Phase III. Our funds that were raised will be used for the restoration of the inside of the Church (Phase III). Since the funds needed for Phase III are in the range of $100,000 to $200,000, the committee is seeking the services of Joseph Noronha (ex-SJCS architect) to help them decide how to implement the work needed.
The list of donors are on the blog shown below. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the members of the committee in England, Canada and USA.http://forodhanizbar.blogspot.com/

St. Joseph's Fund Raising
St. Joseph's Fund Raising
We have come to the end of the Global fund raising. So, please provide me with the final amount and families who donated/pledged(Claude and Astrid). Please make sure that their names are on the blog that Benito has been updating for us. I would like the information by September 12,2011 as I will be returning from a business work in Florida. I would like to do the FINAL UPDATE on the SJCS blog.
I would appreciate any ideas you have as to where we go from here with the fund raising. We will have raised/pledged around $51,000.00. The committee in Zanzibar is planning the Phase III of the project. Do the committees in UK and Canada want to continue with the fund raising? I know that it is not possible here in the USA as we are spread out and cannot have any fund raising activities like you can do in Canada and UK.
Once the funds are sent, what kind of updates should the Renovation Committee in Zanzibar provide us so that we can inform those who have contributed to the fund. I think we have a responsibility to explain to them how the funds are use for the Phase III.
How about a reunion in Toronto with the goal of having a dinner/dance like we did in 2005? All proceeds will go to the Restoration of the church????
Any ideas or suggestion will be appreciated.

St.Joseph Church Renovation, Zanzibar, Tanzania
I received the following email from Alice Salim who is the treasurer of the Restoration Committee in Zanzibar. As you will note that the Phase I and Phase II is almost done and now they are starting to work on Phase III (the inside of the Church). This is where our funds will be used ($51,085.00).
The Committee is soliciting the help of Joseph Norohona, a well known architecture in Dar-es-Salaam. He is a graduate of our St. Joseph Convent School in Zanzibar and studied in Bombay, India. His children all live in the USA. He has two sisters living in Toronto, Canada. I know him well and I am sure he will do his best to advice the committee in restoring the inside of the church which requires a lot of work.
So please help us with a donation to retore the beautiful church of our youth or future generatons. And God will bless you. Our global fund raising will end on Agust 31, 2011.
Sincerely,
Anthony Antao

St. Joseph Cathedral Renovation-Update
August 10, 2011
We have now reached $51,035.00 (received/pledged) as follows:
England/Australia $9,592.00
Canada /Denmark $23,695.00
USA/Australia $17,748.00
Total $51,035.00 (*)
(*) Please note that the amount includes $1,300.00 that was already remitted to the Renovation Committee in Zanzibar.
These funds are kept in three separate accounts in England, Canada and USA. Once we hear from the Restoration Committee, we will remit these funds to the Restoration Committee who are responsible for the restoration under the leadership of Bishop Shao.
The global fund raising for St. Joseph Cathedral Church in Zanzibar will end on August 31, 2011. So we are making a special final appeal to help us in this great cause. If you have already given, please consider a second donation. If you have not given, please consider a donation.
The first phase of the three phase project is done (front of church and steeples). The second phase of fixing the outside part of the church is in process. The third phase is doing the inside of the church which represents the greatest expense. And with the falling of the ceiling, the cost keeps going up. The cost for the 3rd phase is estimated to be over $100,000. Let us all help to renovate this beautiful church.
Bishop Shao and the Restoration Committee in Zanzibar are working hard to raise funds and we can all help in this worthy cause. The church congregation on the island have limited resources and are looking for help from us. Please help us by making a contribution.
The people of France gifted us this beautiful church. It was the place where our faith grew. Many of us were baptized, confirmed, married and celebrated the lives of our deceased loved ones. It was the place we celebrated our feast days and the centre of so many social and cultural activities where we met, made many friends and fell in love. Let us help renovate this church and gift it to the next generation.
It is not important how much you give, but that you give something in "thanksgiving " to God for all the blessings he has bestowed on you.
The list of donors is on the blog shown below. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the members of my committee in England, Canada and USA.Sincerely,

Letter from Bishop Shao, Bishop of Zanzibar Tanzania
I received this email from Rev. Fr.Alwyn C.S.Sp. As you may or may not know. Fr. Alwyn is a graduate of SJCS and joined the Holy Ghost Order; the same order who who were in charge of the church in the island for many years.
He is in charge of a parish in Belmont, California, and regularly vists Zanzibar as he has a brother,Lenny Furtado, who still lives in Zanzibar. He keeps in close contact with the Bishop and is a close friend of his.
Fr. Al gives talk to high school children and others in trying to raise funds for the Lieberman High School in Zanzibar that is under the supervision of the Bishop. He is also in close contact with all the zanzibaris around the San Francisco area. Visit him and he will give a great time.
Please read the letter from Bishop Shao that was sent to Fr. Alwyn and consider making a donation to help restore Our Church.
The Renovation Committee in Zanzibar is in charge of the restoration of the church and need all our help.Let us help them as much as we can and leave the rest to God.
We cannot do everything; but we can do something. Our work may be incomplete,but it is a beginnning, a step along the way, an opprtunity for God's grace to enter and do the rest. We may never see the end results of restoring the church; but that is the differnce between God and the worker.

Dear Al.
First and foremost, I want to convey my sincere sympathy for the demise of our dear elder sister who passed away a week ago. I just met Margy today after the first mass and passed this sad information to me. Rest assured Al she is in our prayers. May her soul rest in peace -Amen.
Al. I'm just back from Nairobi where we had our regional episcopal conference that lasted two weeks. There was no way I could read my mail due to the poor services we had at our hostel. I'm happy to be at home and handle my mail.
Yes, we had a big fall of our ceiling that is made up of gypsum powder, a big potion fall on the sanctuary, luckily there was no damage of life due to that it was night time. The extend of the damage is big because it will ever continue to the whole ceiling. When we checked as why such a damage, we found that most of the wood used to hold the gypsum is rotten. This applied to the whole, because last three years we had another fall about three meters just in front of the altar. we were lucky to find a person who offered to replace the portion. The situation is indeed serious, if we really want to stop the damage we have to re-do the whole ceiling and not only patches. However, as we struggle to replace the whole, we should as well do it in phases. The first phase therefore will be the sanctuary and then gradually continue with the other sections as funds are available.
We have not been able to get the estmates of the damage, but we hope to bring a specialist to give us the estimates. Rest assured by nest week will be ready to say how much is the damage.
Meanwhile, would you continue to thank Anthony and all the group members for their efforts and support.
Will be out of my office as from Tuesday to Friday, but will ask the priest in-charge to bring experts to evaluate the extend of the damage.
With every blessing Al.
Bishop Shao.

Since my last posting, we have received donations from an anonymous ex-zanzibaris in Australia (2nd donation),Washington , D.C, England, Kenya, Vivian de Souza (Michigan) and the Dourado family in Pittsburgh (Bellarmine, Angela and in memory of Teacher Roffin).
We thank them for their kindness and generosity.
As a result, we have met the challenge of the ex-zanzibari from the East coast of the USA who informed us that if we reached $49,500, he would donate $500.00.
Our total received/pledged is as follows:
England/Australia $9,592.00
Canada /Denmark $23,695.00
USA/Australia $17,598.00
Total $50,885.00
We have now raised the bar to $55,000.00. Please help us in this noble cause as there is a great need of funds to help repairs the damage to our beautiful church of our youth. We have two months left (August 31, 2011) to close this fund raising campaign and we are looking for all the help you can give us. If you have already given, please consider a second donation. If you have not given, please consider a donation. Please see the blog below for pictures taken by John De Silva on his recent visit to the island. THE NEED IS GREAT.
The Renovation Committee in Zanzibar is working hard to raise funds and we can all help in this worthy cause. It is not important how much you give, but that you give something in "thanksgiving " to God for all the blessings he has bestowed on us.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the members of my committee in England, Canada and USA.

UPDATE
$48,000.00
An ex-Zanzibari in the USA has made an additional $500.00 donation to the fund and this brings us to a total of $48,000.00.
The person would like to remain anonymous. We are very thankful for the kindness and generosity.
Yesterday, I received a challenge grant for $500.00 from another ex-Zanzibari from the east coast of the USA. If we raise $1,500.00 by August 31, 2011, this anonymous donor will donate the last $500,00 to the fund. I have accepted the challenge and so I am asking you to help us to make a donation so that we can meet this challenge.
Please help us by making a donation to help restore our church of our youth.
You can make a donation to any of the committee members in the USA, Canada or England. For more details of this project, please see the blog.

We are Prophets of a Future Not Our Own
It helps now and then to step back and take a long view. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work.
Nothing we do is complete... which is another way of saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us.
No statement says all that can be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings perfection. No set of goals and objectives includes everything.
This is what we are about. We plant seeds and one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development. We provide yeast that produces effects beyond our capabilities.
We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for God's grace to enter and do the rest.
We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker. We are workers, not master builders, ministers, not messiahs.
We are prophets of a future not our own. Amen.

UPDATE PROVIDED BY JOHN DE SILVA TORONTO CANADA
Hello Benny: FYI
I just came back from Zanzibar and during my short stay had the opportunity of visiting our Church. I did an extensive tour of the entire church and here are the latest photos and some of my findings.
Phase 1 which is renovations for the statue at the main entrance of St. Joseph has been successfully completed and the funding for this phase was from the Z'baris themselves.
Phase 2 is currently in progress and this is for the outside structure and walls as you can see on the photos the scaffolding. This phase will also be paid by the parishioners.
Phase 3 is scheduled to start soon after phase 1 and involves inside of the church which is in dire need of renovations. The paint and cement on the walls is just falling apart, the top where the choir is located the floor is giving way.
There is a heavy campaign taking place at all Sunday masses which the second collection is for the renovation funds, there is also a large box outside the entrance of the church which states " Funds for Renovation of the Church"
My conclusions: There is a lot that needs to be done for our church. Much of the collected funds and much more will be required for the massive work that needs to be done inside the church. Two weeks ago, the main structure above the alter which hosts the Chandler gave way. Luckily at the time there was no activity taking place.
Let us all pull together and get this major project completed.
Regards,
John

We are very grateful to those who gave because of their love of the St. Joseph Church in Zanzibar which played an important role in our faith. $1,300.00 was already sent directly to the Restoration Committee in Zanzibar from 2 families (one in UK and one in USA).
We will continue with the fund raising during 2011. Anyone interested in making a donation during 2011, please forward the funds to the Chairperson of the three committees in the USA/Canada/UK.
Sincerely,
Anthony Antao
