Renovation Plan & ICC DFW Fundraising
The renovation will start in January 2024, and when it is done, the renovated Gua Maria will look significantly better, like in the design pictures below. The overall project cost is about $10,000.
During Advent 2023, ICC DFW will do a fundraising to support this project. Please watch the announcement in ICC DFW Whatsapp and Facebook pages. If you have any questions, please reach out to Vivi Ugut, Grace Rusli, or Rubi Satrio.
