Church of the Holy Rosary, Kuala Lumpur

Church of the Holy Rosary (GPS: 3.13679, 101.69284) is a Catholic church in Kuala Lumpur. It is located on Jalan Tun Sambanthan, just next to Dua Sentral. According to the website of the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur¹, the church was established in 1903.

The Church of the Holy Rosary holds Mass Mondays to Fridays at 7:00 am, except the 1st Friday of the month, when mass is at 8:00 pm. On weekends, Mass is at 5:00 pm on Saturday and 8:30 am on Sunday, with a mass in Mandarin at 10:30 am. All the Masses are in English unless otherwise stated.

The founding of the Church of the Holy Rosary can be attributed to a French priest, Father François E. Terrien², who was in charged of the Chinese Catholic Community of Kuala Lumpur. Father Terrien raised the funds to purchase the land on Brickfields Road (as Jalan Tun Sambanthan was then known). The Church of St John (now St John's Cathedral) helped in advancing a third of the funds needed for the project.

The Church of the Holy Rosary, designed in the Neoclassical style, was originally completed with a flat roof, and was blessed in 1904. The present roof and steeple were added in 1951.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
