Many people know it as the Novena Church, and in fact, it’s the landmark after which the MRT station is named after – but did you know that the official name is really The Church of St Alphonsus? For thirty years, yg used to be a neighbour to the church, and shares his recollections about it.
the area around the church has undergone very much change but the facade of the church has remained unchanged over the years. the seventh-day adventist school across the road has also remained quite intact but that building was built later. i think the novena church had already been there before we moved into the kampong.
