Good Shepherd Cathedral

Good Shepherd Cathedral

Good Shepherd Cathedral is located between Queen Street, Victoria Street, and Bras Basah Road in Singapore. Built in 1847, it is the oldest Roman Catholic church in Singapore and serves as the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore, as well as the seat of the Archbishop.

The Good Shepherd Cathedral features a Renaissance architectural style, drawing inspiration from London’s Covent Garden St Paul’s Church and St Martin-in-the-Fields. There are six entrances to the church, each with a porch, and the main entrance has three doors. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by the solemn and majestic interior décor that evokes a sacred atmosphere. In the nave, guests can admire statues of various Catholic figures, while eight large stained glass windows create a magnificent and uplifting effect. The beautiful rectangular ceiling overhead is truly breathtaking. At both ends of the nave are two confessionals for parishioners to confess to priests.

Good Shepherd Cathedral is the only cathedral in Singapore that houses two pipe organs. These organs date back to 1912 and cost £5,864 to complete, making them highly commemorative and historically significant.
