Save the Cathedral Nossa Senhora do Livramento


The Bons Sinais Association is preparing to restore the roof of the Quelimane Cathedral, in the central Mozambican province of Zambezia. The funds for the roof, which needs major work, will be provided by the Norwegian embassy.
According to a report on Radio Mozambique, the work will commence after the rainy season ends in March. The president of the association, Antonio Barros, explained that the Norwegian embassy will provide 250,000 meticais (about 65,000 US dollars). Since the association began the restoration of the cathedral, which lies on the bank of the Bons Sinais River, it has raised about a million dollars for the work.
On Friday, the Bons Sinais Association held a meeting in Quelimane to publicise its activities last year and its plans for 2019. The meeting was addressed by the provincial governor, Abdul Razak, who encouraged the group to continue with its efforts.
The Cathedral was built between 1776 and 1786. However, it is currently abandoned and in a severely degraded state. As well as installing a new roof, construction work is needed to repair and re-plaster the walls. In addition, the doors need replacing and electricity will be installed.After the Cathedral is rejuvenated it will be used for local activities to promote national culture.
