AFTER more than 15 years of closure and decay, the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in Carolina, Couva, has been beautifully restored and reopened.

The celebration took place on September 8, coinciding with the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Parishioners turned out in their hundreds for the reopening mass, led by Fr Trevor Nathasingh, whose appeal for support moved the faithful nationwide.
