Oudtshoorn, 16 Julie 2022 – Dat liefde daadwerklik ‘n besluit is het deelnemers aan die Bisdomlike Gesins- en Familielewe Bediening se Besinningstyd, vandag bevestig.

Sulke praktiese raad van egpare wat weet wat dit is om die spreekwoordelike sewe sakke sout saam te moet opeet, kan nie ongehoord gelos word nie.

Indien u hulp of raad vir u huweliksverhouding benodig, kontak gerus die lede van die Gesins- en Familielewe bediening om raad en hulp.

A belfry for the Cathedral after almost 30 years

Oudtshoorn, 6 July 2022 – Back in the early 1990’s advice was sought and then it was decided to take down the 4 bells that hung above the sanctuary at the meeting point of the Cathedral roof arches, as the weight and movement of the bells gradually weakened the integrity of the roof structure.

On 13 July 2022 a site meeting was held outside the Cathedral to hand over the construction site for a new belfry that is to be erected on the corner of St. Saviour- and Baron van Reede streets. It is understood that the new belfry will accommodate all 4 the original bells and will reach as high as 12m into the sky. See our Facebook page for some visuals.
