Visita Iglesia in Singapore

Although I am not in Manila during the Holy Week, Erick and I found time to visit some churches here in Singapore to pray and reflect. We were able to visit five churches in the Serangoon district.

We started our Visita Iglesia with the church closest to our place. It was only a five-minute bus ride away. We attended the Stations of the Cross and the mass at St. Anne's Church and then went to the other nearby churches.

The next church was in Upper Serangoon Road and was only eight bus stops away. The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary has a nice facade with a grotto and waiting benches outside.

St. Vincent de Paul is a small yet modern church in Yio Chu Kang Road. It was good to know that they hold Tagalog masses here every other Sunday of the month.

We missed the bus going to the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary so we had to wait for about 20 more minutes. By the time we got there, the church was already closed so we just prayed in the grotto. The church's location is a walking distance to the Serangoon Stadium and was situated in a quiet neighborhood in Serangoon.

The last church on our list is the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Chartwell Drive. The church is located in an exclusive neighborhood in the district.

 Our Visita Iglesia was very worthwhile and provided us a time to reflect during the Holy Week. I am happy that I was able to practice this though I am far from home.
