St Thomas's Cathedral (Anglican Church) — Attraction in Sarawak

In my opinion , It is the finest Anglican church in Malaysia. The churchmanship is High church and keeps up the anglo catholic tradition. It is the only Anglican church that practices the daily office (Morning prayer with Holy Communion - Monday to Saturday at 6:15a.m. and Evening Prayer with Holy Communion - Mon, Tue,Thu, Fri,Sat at 4p.m. and 5pm on Wednesday). One thing I like is the striking of the bells. The bells are rung every day at 6:00 a.m. , 12p.m. , and 6p.m. to let people pause from work and give thanks for the comming of christ. The 8 bells are striked before and after mass. There are 4 masses each Sunday - 6:45a.m. Holy Communion Service with Hymns, 8:15a.m. English Solemn Liturgy/Solemn Mass, 10a.m. Mandarin Solemn Liturgy/Solemn Mass, and 5:30p.m. English evensong with Holy Communion. The clergy are very friendly and welcoming to visitors and are willing offer assistance. Now , because of the Covid-19 Pandemic , masses will be suspended if Kuching becomes a red zone and resumes when it is not a red zone. Sunday masses are now at 6:30am and 8:30am in English, 10:30 in Mandarin and 2pm in Iban. Anyone who wishes to attend a service MUST pre register online to reserve a seat as there is a 200 people limit. To register, one must either call the parish office, or go to the Cathedral's facebook page. The Cathedral will livestream the Sunday Mass. Anyone is welcomed to come for the service. I hope my review is helpful to anyone who wishes to know more about...

St. Thomas Cathedral is my favorite church in Kuching and a must-visit landmark. As the largest Anglican cathedral in the city, it features stunning architecture and a welcoming atmosphere for both worshippers and visitors. The cathedral compound offers more than just worship services - you'll find a well-stocked bookstore, a cozy café perfect for reflection or conversation, and a library for those interested in theological resources. Whether you're seeking a place of worship, interested in colonial-era architecture, or simply want a peaceful spot to visit, St. Thomas Cathedral is worth your time. The facilities make it easy to spend a few hours here exploring and relaxing. Highly recommended for both locals...

This is the Anglican Cathedral in the heart of Kuching city. Consecrated in 1956, the architecture and decorations integrate rich theological and historical aspects of Christianity. The compound also includes the Bishop's house, the House of Epiphany (seminary) and various other church buildings. Sunday services start from 6.45AM (English), 8.15Am (English, Malay or Iban), 10.00AM (Chinese) and...
