Temple

Sceneca Residence Singapore is just 7 Minute walk to Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple.

Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple (luo yang da bo gong) can be traced to the early 1980s when statues of Taoist, Buddhist, and Hindu deities were found on the coast near Loyang Way. A modest hut was built on the beach to house and worship the deities.

In 1996 a fire destroyed the hut and with generous donations by its devotees a new temple with brick walls and tiled roofs was built in 2000 at 62G Loyang Way. In 2007 the temple moved to its current location, which is less than 2 km away from its previous site. Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple is one of the few temples in Singapore that has Hindu deities worshipped alongside Chinese deities, reflecting religious harmony in Singapore. Loyang Tua Pek Kong Temple is one of the few temples that is opened 24 hours for prayer.

Church

Sceneca Residence is just a 10-minute drive from the Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity.

Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity is a Roman Catholic church in Singapore. Its current address is 20 Tampines Street 11, Tampines New Town, Singapore 529455. It currently has an approximate population of 13,720, the largest parish in Singapore. The church was founded in 1988 and is relatively new among the other Roman Catholic churches in Singapore. It was built at a cost of S$8,000,000 and is uniquely designed, being built with features such as a waterfall within the church building itself. A columbarium was also incorporated into the design, with space for 1,400 niches. Thirty-seven acres of the Tampines New Town was itself built on land acquired in 1971 from the Catholic Mission.

The three-story building was designed as a fish, representing Jesus Christ in Christian iconography. The early Christians used the symbol of a fish to identify each other, as the Greek word for fish, “ichthys”, became an acrostic for “Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter”, or Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour. The aquatic theme was also initially carried into the design of the church in the form of water fountains and a stream that flowed between the aisle. Some of those initial designs were eventually removed in subsequent renovations to cater to a rapidly expanding congregation.
