Many parishioners were transferred to the suburbs in 1940 due to overpopulation in downtown Singapore. A Church needed to get established as Catholics became more numerous in the East.
Plans for the Church of Our Lady Queen of Peace got put on hold. With the start of the Japanese Occupation and the post-war rehabilitation. The Church of Our Lady Queen of Peace has finally founded on 4 April 1954. Thanks to Father Dupoirieux’s tenacity and the fervent prayers of many believers.
Since that time, 26 priests have served in our parish. At the moment, our congregation gets led by Rev. Father Timothy Yeo, parish priest, and Rev. Father Francis Lee, assistant parish priest.

In Singapore in 1988, the Queen of Peace Church, which he oversaw, was the first to give Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) in Mandarin. Along with translating the Parish Renewal Experience curriculum into Mandarin for his parish, Father Ly founded the first Mandarin-speaking Catholic charismatic prayer group in the dio-cese.
The Church of Our Lady Queen of Peace is located on Sandy Lane, upstream of Tanjong Katong Road. Queen of Peace is the numerous monikers bestowed upon the Blessed Virgin Mary.
As a result, Catholics from the south moved to the East and northeast, away from the city centre. Under the post-Independence regime, this human mobility would persist and spread further.
Most of the population had been relocated east of the city by the early 1940s. There was a sizable Catholic population among them. A parish’s construction got put into motion.
