Church Of Our Lady Of Lourdes, Ipoh



This church Our Lady Of Lourdes (OLOL), is situated in Silibin, Ipoh, Perak, West Malaysia. This is my parish where I was babtised, received my first Holy Communion and Confirmation. The masses are in English and Tamil as most of the parishioners are tamillians. We have 2 other catholic churches here in Ipoh, one is The St. Michael's Church (SMC) and the other Church Of Our Mother Of Perpetual Help (OMPH). I have a lot of fond memories of OLOL - went for my cathecism classes here and when I'm down I go to the grotto and believe me all your burdens will be lifted away......at night the grotto is lighted with candles and it's a pretty sight to behold. The alter backdrop is made of marble and bears the photo of The Last Supper. I strongly believe that all what we are, what we have and what we undergo in our everyday life is God's giving. 'Praise The Lord'!
