A Very Small but Nice Cathedral
Feb 2020
I always visit Catholic cathedrals on my travels so it was nice to have visited this one in a non-Catholic country. As expected, it was very small and lacks the more traditional opulent spires and ceilings and giant stained windows. Still beautiful, nonetheless. Simple and sacred.

Great church in the colonial district
Feb 2020 • Couples
Singapore has a plethora a great religious buildings and this is one of the larger and more visited churches. It is the main Catholic Church in the colonial quarter. It is a beautiful church exterior. We did not get to visit the interior. Another one of the great religious structures in Singapore.

A Modern Looking Cathedral
Jan 2020 • Friends
This looked like it wasn’t a real building but like a chocolate box cathedral rather than a traditional cathedral. Beautiful inside and out though and well worth a look - not far from many hotels and walking distant to raffles.

Perpetual adoration available
Jan 2020 • Couples
Last time we visited the cathedral was closed for renovation, what a fantastic job they did. There is a basement chapel dedicated to perpetual adoration and a fantastic place a repose for quite meditative prayer.

Good location, close to the hotel
Dec 2019
There was quite a number of churchgoers. We didn't realise there were plenty of Catholics in Singapore. What was so impressive was their program for the poor, and another was the Christmas village in one of the buildings.

Amazing Christmas Experience
Dec 2019
From the beautiful Nativity scene inside the Cathedral and the choir singing on Christmas morning. The souvenir shop was a real highlight with a huge animated nativity display and wonderful gifts to buy. People and staff were so welcoming and friendly, to make this a very special experience.

Even if you're not catholic, you must visit this church. It's air conditioned and always full. The choir sing beautifully and the organist can play superbly. The sound of the pipes create a beautiful sound. We only wished the mass was longer than 1 hour. The Cathedral is opposite the Carlton hotel.

Beautiful Cathedral
Feb 2019
I have attended mass here several times over the years when in Singapore on a Sunday. The cathedral has been very nicely renovated and is beautiful.

From the Sermon Delivered by Archbishop Goth on April 19, 2018
Apr 2019
On Good Friday evening over a year ago, Youtube provided visual access to the Good Friday services at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd Cathedral in Singapore. The services were beautiful and I could spend much time writing about the kindness evident in those in attendance, However I was most impressed by the sermon given to us by Archbishop Goth. To that extent I had written down some of his statements. I came across those notes today and I am about to copy them here for you. He said: "The greatest form of service is forgiveness"
"Never retaliate. Never allow forgiveness to be overcome."
"Do the right thing --.Love anyway."
"Jesus loved unto death."
