Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Ipoh

Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Ipoh (9 November, 2015)


Church of Our Lady of Lourdes (GPS: 4.60316, 101.06867) is a Roman Catholic church in the Silibin suburb of Ipoh, Perak. It is located on Jalan Silibin, and is a church for the Indian community.

Church of Our Lady of Lourdes trades its history to the turn of the 20th century, when Roman Catholic missionary, Father L.M. Duvelle initiated the effort to establish a church for the Indian Catholics in the area. A piece of land was purchased in 1902, and the Bishop gave the church the name Church of Our Lady of Lourdes. At that time, they were unaware that the land was prone to flooding, an issue that became apparent once they built the first church building. Floods became a regular occurrence at this church, right up until the present church building was completed in 1959.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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