It is located in the Bukit Batok Planning Area, within the West Region of Singapore. The church is home to both a parish community and Franciscan monastery[2]. Currently, the parish is home to some 8,500 parishioners. The parish caters to parishioners who come from the different parts of Singapore, mainly from Bukit Batok, Bukit Gombak, Hillview, Jurong East and Choa Chu Kang. It grew out of the work of a group of Franciscan friars in the 1950s.[3] The building was awarded the Singapore Institute of Architects Religious Building category award in 2004, and Design of the Year award at the first President's Design Award in 2006.[4] The current Parish Priest is Friar Clifford Augustine, OFM. The Assistant Parish Priests of the parish are Friar Justin Lim, OFM, Friar Esmond Chua, OFM and Friar Jason Richard, OFM Mass TimingsWeekdays (Monday to Friday): 6.55am (With Morning Prayer), 12.15pm, 7.00pm Saturdays: 6.55am (With Morning Prayer), 4.30pm, 6.15pm Sundays: 7.30am (Mandarin), 9.00am, 11.00am, 1.00pm, 5.00pm, 7.00pm Saturday Novena: 4.00pm Novena to St. Anthony: Tuesdays after the 7.00pm Mass Devotion to the Sacred Heart: 1st Friday of Every Month, before the 7.00pm Mass The "Last Chance" MassOver the years, the parish had a rapid growth in the number of parishioners, which resulted in most of the weekend Masses being very crowded. The final straw came in 2011, when the 5.30pm Mass on Sunday became just as crowded as the Sunday Morning Masses. The parish saw the need to add in a new Mass timing to cater to the crowd. With that, the Sunday 7.15pm Mass started, with the initial aim to cater to the crowd. It now caters to many parishioners, as well as people who are on shift work and are unable to attend Mass at any other timing on Sundays. The Sunday 7.15pm Mass is the latest timing for any English Mass among all Catholic Churches in Singapore. It is known as the "Last Chance" Mass for people who are unable to attend Mass earlier in the day due to their hectic schedules. Novena to St. AnthonyThe Franciscan Friars in formation play host for the Novena to St. Anthony every Tuesday after the 12.15p.m. and 7.30pm Mass. This is a devotion which is well known to the parishioners and well attended. See also
