About
Consecrated on 5 August 1900, this is one of Surabaya's oldest Catholic churches and a protected heritage building. Its stained-glass windows show scenes from the life of Christ, and it was restored to its original form after a fire in the early independence years. Visit quietly and dress respectfully, especially around Sunday Mass.
