About
Completed in 1961, the Church of St. Bernadette at Zion Road was built with funds collected from the Catholic community.
The Building
The architect was Mr Alfred Wong, a distinguished member of the first post-war generation of young local architects trained overseas. Designed in the Modern style, the building has an elegant and restrained front façade featuring differently patterned walls in a lively symmetrical composition. Its angular layout is an innovative transformation of the traditional cruciform plan.
The Legacy
To retain the building as an identity marker for the Zion Road area, it was given conservation status on 28 April 2009.
