Church of Saint Francis Xavier, Singapore
After the land in Serangoon Garden was purchased, Father Philippe Meisonnier was appointed to take charge of the church building efforts.[3] Finally on 11 January 1959, Archbishop Olçomendy officially blessed the new Church with Father Rene Challet appointed to be its first parish priest.A Play School was added on within the Parish Social Centre and kindergarten classes began to run in 1978.Under Father John Sim's leadership, several renovation projects were undertaken from 1993 to 2004 to provide for a new canteen, a parsonage, an expanded Church and a new parish centre.Today, the Church of St Francis Xavier proudly serves a population of 5,000 Catholics living in the Serangoon area.
