A photograph showing a quaint style sculpture of Mother Mary and child in an old historic church in the southeast Asian country of Singapore. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul (Chinese: 圣伯多禄圣保禄堂) is one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in Singapore. The history of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul is closely linked with the beginning and growth of the Chinese Catholic community in Singapore. The church, with its tower, was constructed between 1869 to 1870. It was erected by the Chinese Catholic Mission serving a congregation of all the Chinese dialect groups and their Indian brethren. It was also a centre for many European missionaries who needed to learn the Chinese language before other postings.
