Novena Church

Porticoes were added in the late 1950s to cater to the large and growing number of devotees coming for the Saturday novena devotions.News of the devotion were mostly spread by word of mouth, but there were the few car stickers distributed by the Church with the caption "Have You Been To The Novena?".[14] The first such devotion in Mandarin Chinese was led by two Spanish Redemptorist missionaries, Juan Campos Rodríguez and Eusebio Arnáiz Álvarez.[15] The annual procession was started on 21 June 1953 and it has been held every year since on the 1st Sunday of September in honour of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.[18] The total cost for building the New Church, the Pastoral Centre, the New Admin Block and the underground carparks was $55.4 Million (SGD).
