An interesting design - reminds me of the castle of Fantasyland in Disneyland.
Interesting too about the miracles.
Enjoy the Parish Sale if you’ll be there.
Plain, pure and simple. That’s the feeling I get looking at the church.
Ah yes the church on the hill. I went there a few years back. The view was wonderful and so were the flowers around the steps leading up to the church.
The site and the name, St. Thomas Cathedral is the oldest but not the current building. The honour of the oldest church would most likely go to St. James Anglican Church at Kampung Quop at 10 mile which is over a 100 years old, the structure that is..
To Divlin’s question on when was the Church @ Mount Hossana was built, it was roughly in the Mid 90’s but was consecrated by the Roman Catholic Archbishop, Dato Seri Peter Chung in 1997. Currently, the Church is maintained by the Our Lady, Queen of Peace Parish, Sri Aman and the Priest to contact for entry and special Masses to be said is Rev. Fr. Richard Khoo @ 083-308076

Really? It reminds me of a pack of crayons, but all white to color you pure.
quavadis - thanks for the information! most thoughtful and helpful of you!
MM, LOL!! White will be my new colour from now on - doesn’t matter if I harbour impure thoughts. What a farce!
My first impression was crayons too. Or perhaps grain silos. As the calf said to the silo,”is my fodder in there?”
Food for thought.
what u wish will come true…..the most miracle place to go.
