Saint Joseph's Church (Chinese: 聖若瑟堂) is a Roman Catholic church in Singapore. It is located along Victoria Street in the Rochor Planning Area, within the Central Area of Singapore's central business district. The church was constructed from 1906 to 1912 with its foundation stone laid in 1904. The building was built in the Neo-Manueline Portuguese late-Gothic style by the Portuguese Mission. Saint Joseph's Church is noted for its Portuguese-inspired religious traditions, such as the annual Good Friday celebrations.[1]
The church is a rectoral church of devotion and not a parish church, hence, the church does not have specific territorial boundaries.[1] Mass in the Latin Extraordinary Form is celebrated here every Sunday at 2 pm.[2]
