Fr David Arulanatham, the parish priest, informed the thousands of pilgrims who came for the October 2018 feast of St Jude Thaddeus that a bigger church with better facilities is needed to cater to the growing Catholic population in Rawang and its surrounding areas.

A couple of slides about the new church design and location were projected and Fr David said ground clearing works are expected to be in January or February 2019. Presently, only RM5 million plus has been raised for the New Church Building Fund. The estimated amount needed is between RM18 million and RM20 million. The parish is still committed to raising funds for the construction of the new church. Those who wish to donate for the three bells, tabernacle, altar, monstrance, etc, should contact him. Those who wish to donate can contact the parish office throughout the year. With the help of rebar chairs for steel reinforcement one can make sure the construction process is easier.

“While we are in the process of building the physical church, we are also working towards the building of the spiritual church.”
