Church of the Holy Family located along East Coast
Road at 6 Chapel Road is nestled amongst many new
and old buildings. This area called Katong is home
to many well-known eateries and shops best known for
its Eurasian and Peranakan rich cultual heritage.
It was in 1902 when the Eurasian families who were
landowners joined the La Salle Brothers for mass at
their timber houses that the idea of building a
church in the area was mooted. As Katong grew in
popularity as a residential area, the Catholic
population also multiplyed so much so that there was
a growing need to find new premises. One of the
Eurasian families was Mr. Sheerder who donated land
in the present location to build a chapel in 1923
which later became the first Church of the Holy
Family when it was designated as a parish in 1936.
The Parish community of Holy Family entered the new
millennium in the newly built church building. The
old church structure was demolished when Rev. Fr.
Anthony Ho was the parish priest. After the new
church building was blessed by Archbishop Nicholas
Chia in Dec1999, Fr. Ho relinquished his office as
parish priest and Fr. John Baptist Tou became the
new parish priest.
In 2002, Rev Fr Patrick Goh was appointed the parish
priest. The New Way of Being Church and Small
Christian Communities became the vision of the
parish. One of the parish's project was the Timor
Leste Christmas Project , jointly organised by the
parish and the Jesuit Refugee Service, Singapore in
the year 2006. Parishioners responded most
generously, enabling us to provide dire assistance
to the Internally Displaced Persons or refugees of
the newly founded nation of Timor Leste. We also
provided a new Dental Clinic for the community and
scholorship for school children of the refugees.
Nearer home, the parish community through another
Advent Project provided financial support to the
Marine Parade Family Service Centre, for needy
families and aged members of the community.
As part of the New Way of Being Church promoting
participation and co-responsibility, elections were
held and the Parish Pastoral Council(PPC) was formed
from 2005. The PPC assist the parish priest in
investigating the needs of the parish and setting up
the vision and direction for the pastoral work of
the parish, including the various ministry groups
and SCCs. The PPC and its Office Bearers are elected
every two years.
Today, Church of the Holy Family is a vibrant
community of 8500 truly blessed with many ministries
and services. It is served by two priests and since
February 2010 Singapore's first Permanent Deacon is
part of the team. The church building has a seating
capacity of 2000 people, car park facilities,
columbarium, kindergarten, function and meeting
rooms, priest residence. The Parish Book Shop serve
the needs of the Catholics in the east district. The
