Queen Street

Church of St. Peter and Paul

One of the oldest Catholic Church in Singapore which catered to a predominantly Chinese congregation, it was built more than a century ago and located at 225A Queen Street.  The church underwent a series of expansion and renovation in the late 19th century and as of today as I wrote it still under renovation today the church is under the care of the Frides of the Discalced Carmelites






 

Grace (S.C.C) Church

The church was founded by Rev. Ho Yew Kin in 1950 due to the influx of immigrants from Hongkong and Guangdong Province of China and known as Grace Oversea Chinese Christian Church and had its premises at Chinese YMCA at Selegie Road. The language used in their services is Cantonese. In 1970 the church started fundraising to purchase a plot of land at 14 Queen Street where now the church stands they now had services in English and Madrian to serve the descendants of the older immigrants from Hongkong and China.
