Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Kuala Lumpur

Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (GPS: 3.12997, 101.7245), also called Sacred Heart Church, is a Roman Catholic church in Kuala Lumpur. It is located off Jalan Peel. The church building is not clearly visible from Jalan Peel, apart from its gate, as the view is blocked by a row of roadside stalls.

The Sacred Heart Church traces its history to the founding of the Diocese of Kuala Lumpur in 1955. Father Edward Limat, who was the parish prist of St John's Cathedral, was instrumental in founding Sacred Heart. This is to serve the Catholics who have settled at the Kampung Pandan area. With a building fund set up, a piece of land was purchased, and the Sacred Heart Church was completed in 1960. Bishop D. Vendargon blessed it in March, 1960.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
