It is the state of Ho Chi Minh City as of March 7 (Sun).
The construction of Saigon Cathedral, which has been underway since 2017, is finally approaching the final stage.
Currently, we are making a large-scale scaffolding and constructing the front.

Initially, the repair was scheduled to be completed by 2020, but it has not been completed yet and there is no prospect of completion, but the mass is being held as usual.

Saigon Cathedral was built between 1863 and 1880 and is about 140 years old.
So far, no such large-scale restoration work has been carried out.
We are working on replacing bricks, and the color will be different after completion.

Please come to the site when the corona infection is over and the restoration work is over!
