Church of St Michael

Church of St Michael (GPS: 6.11759, 100.37463) is a Roman Catholic parish church in Alor Setar, Kedah. The church traces its beginning to missionary work conducted by French missionaries Father Page and Father Vignol in 1883, when they sailed up Sungai Kedah from Kuala Kedah. Eventually a small attap chapel was built in 1921 along Jalan Langgar and dedicated to St Michael.

The present church building replaced the original attap chapel in 1954. The church is noted for its welfare work, particularly during the Emergency years.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
