Five Facts about St Teresa's Church

1) Although St Teresa's Church is a diosesian church, only 1 out of the 3 priest there is a diosesian priest. The other priest is a French missionary priest and a Port Chaplin.

2) St Teresa's Church is the only church with an outdoor columbarium. It is also the first church to have a columbarium. That is why the Archbishop comes to say mass for every All Souls Day mass.

3) St Teresa's Church is also the only church with a Romano-Byzantine architecture. If you have been to the church, you would notice that the architecture is very unique and special. The Carmalite Monastery also has a near similar design but is smaller.

4) There is only 1 Singaporean priest in the church. The other is a French and the other is from Philippines.

5) The church was just renovated recently. Now, the church is fully air conditioned and new plasma TVs have been added. My advice for you is to visit the church on Maunday Thursday or on All Souls Day.
