St Louis Church, Taiping

St Louis Church, Taiping (30 September 2022)


St Louis Church (GPS: 4.84619, 100.73603) is a Catholic church in Taiping, Perak. Located next door to the Taiping Convent, it is one of the few Catholic houses of worship in town.

Just next to the Taiping Convent, the Catholic mission in Taiping was started around 1875, through the French Fathers who brought the faith from Penang. On that year, the Church of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart was erected, making it the oldest Catholic Church in Taiping.

With the continual growth of the Catholic population, a second parish was set up, specifically to address the needs of the Tamil-speaking assembly. This was the start of the St Louis Church. The church was completed and blessed in 1899. The first building is now used as the Parish Hall. The present St Louis Church was built in 1937.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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