Gereja Katolik St Alfonsus, Tuk Tuk

Gereja Katolik St Alfonsus, Tuk Tuk (30 April 2006)


Santu Alfonsus Catholic Church, or Gereja Katolik St Alfonsus, is a church in Tuk Tuk on Samosir Island, in Lake Toba. I discovered this church one Sunday morning, when I heard the church bell ringing, and worshippers making their way to church. I couldn't help admiring the nice clothes these people are wearing. Truly, they went to church in their Sunday best.

The little church building was packed with worshippers. Some come by motorcycle, but the majority simply walked. I had the chance to take a look at their bible and hymn book. All are in their language. It was a marvellous experience to attend church in Tuk Tuk.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
