"It is with joy and great thankfulness to God and His people that we announce that the debt for the construction of our new Cathedral building in Iqaluit has been repaid. This will relieve some of the financial pressure on the Diocese. We look forward to continuing the work of the church in the north. Once again thank you for partnering with us in the Gospel."
