โ โ โ โ โ St. Francis Xavier's Church is an old Church in Penang Road where there is a newly built Orphanage for the mostly Indian children that replaced the old one that is very small.
This Church is often called the Tamil Church because most of the parishioners there are Indians.
Though not so well furnished & big, still it is quite spacious & well kept. Besides, the Orphanage there is a small College for students nearby.
At the entrance on the left before going into the church, is a Cafe where breakfast & light meals are served for tea time but you have to pay to eat.

โ โ โ โ โ A small congregation on firm foundation but struggling to find its voice, surrounded by old efforts to care for the homeless, orphans, addicts and poor, drowned by the hustle and bustle of charitable works for a lost humanity.

โ โ โ โ โ One of few that still hold mass on Sunday evenings at 6pm post pandemic. Sadly a church is only as hospitable as its congregation. The lay worker giving out Communion wafer is a very rude racist Indian old man who should be chastised for his arrogance. The Chinese priest is struggling with this remnants of an Indian village. The singing is poorly coordinated with wrong Powerpoint slides and missing choirmaster. Thankfully God is all merciful and forgiving to these peasants who deserve purgatory. Outside its gates, there is still found some charity to trishaw pedlars and the Lighthouse row of thrift shops ministering to your physical needs.

โ โ โ โ โ A normal catholic mass although it ended pretty quickly- 40 minutes instead of your usual 1 hour. Whilst in a pandemic, very grateful that mass is still being held (sunday evenings 6pm) and catering to public while strictly adhering to sop. Choir music was alright, i enjoyed it as I knew the songs and gotta admire the talented keyboardist (idk his name but i attended the mass on 13.2.22) who held the choir together. Also, there's no AC so be prepared to be perspiring. However, i didnt feel the warmth of the congregation as everyone was either rushing elsewhere or talking to other members. Overall, a good place to pray and reflect.
