Church of Saints Peter and Paul |
|
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, located right behind the Singapore Art Museum, was constructed in 1870 by the Chinese Catholic Mission serving a congregation of all the Chinese dialect groups and their Indian Catholic brethren. It was also a centre for many European missionaries who needed to learn the Chinese language before other postings. Sometime in the 1870s, Father Pierre Paris bestowed the three exceptionally fine bells, still in use today. He also began to build the steeple before his death in 1883. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul was gazetted as a national monument on 10 February 2003. Address:
