Information About
This book was published to commemorate 175 years of St. Joseph's Church and its services to the Catholics in Singapore. Throughout the years, the Church has been witness to many historic events - for instance, the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and the birth of an independent nation. Yet St Joseph's and the Portuguese Mission continued to offer a place to worship, to meet, to celebrate and to mourn.
