The
beginning of works:
|
With the help of friends from the west, works of the basilica were
therefore launched.
The
casting of the first stone of the Basilica took place on July 20th ,2001.
Excavations ended on August and construction operations started on October
29th, 2001.
Numerous inhabitants of many villages came to attend this grandiose
ceremony animated by the Chorus of Maghdouche, the Chorus of Saint Savoir
and the spectacle of children miming the construction of the new Basilica.

A call to help in the
construction of the Basilica:
Works of the
Basilica of Our Lady of Mantara began in October 2001. These construction works
have already reached an advanced stage due to the support of faithful friends in
the country and in the west. Till now, we have collected the sum of $
350.000 which is an encouraging sum.
Unfortunately, it is not enough
to end this shell.
That is why,
we turn to you. By supporting this project, you will allow pilgrims from all
over the world to be received at a beautiful Church in a Marian Sanctuary where
they are numerous to gather under the fervor of the prayer.
