Good day! when will the schedule of the Christmas masses be available? thanks!
I will be staying at Grand Inn Penang, Penang Road. I would like to know which is the nearest Catholic Church to attend Pentecost mass on 15.5.16.
Hi there.
You mentioned that Grand Inn Penang is at Penang Road but I think it should be at Macalister Road. If that’s the case, the nearest church would be Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, also at Macalister Road (but the other end further down. Macalister Road is a long road).
As it is a Sunday, the time of masses will be as usual, the same as every Sunday mass time (which you can see right here on top).
Hope that help.
Lucia
Admin
Thanks sis Lucia. I was informed that the Grand Inn is at Penang Road.

Thank you

Best regards
Junaa law

Is there a mass tomorrow Dec 31 2015 or Jan 01 2016 in Our Lady of Sorrows?
Hi Cheryl
You didn’t comment on a new post, so I can’t reply to you directly.
I do understand the Assumption church is open daily but I’m not sure of the time. It could be open only in the morning, maybe 10.00am to 12 noon. The best, is, please call the parish office (tel. no. 04-2261502) on that day to enquire from them.
Admin
Dear Mheng linao
I suppose you come in to our blog via the homepage/main page, of which the url is – https://cityppg.wordpress.com.
Well, as you came to our homepage, you will notice the Mass time stated right there, the very first post. You won’t miss it if you come to our blog direct. Go on – click on our url – https://cityppg.wordpress.com and you’ll see a table with the Mass time.
Anyway, the answer to your question is yes. As you will notice, there are Masses on 31 Dec (10.00pm) and 1 Jan (9.00am).
Thank you for your speedy reply. You have been very helpful. God bless.
Hi, I’ll be staying at City Bayview during the weekend of the Assumption of Our Lady. On the map, the Cathedral of the Assumption looks within walking distance. About how long will it take? What time will the Masses be. Another option is the Armenian Street Heritage Hotel. Is there a Catholic Church nearby? Thanks
Hi Eilen, the Assumption church is very near to City Bayview hotel… kind of like a few blocks away. Walking distance, will take only 5 mins.
Since Assumption falls on Saturday, most probably the Mass time will be the same as our usual sunset Mass at 6.30pm. On Sunday, it will be at 10.00am.
The St Francis Xavier church is also near to CIty Bayview (the opposite side of Assumption direction). About same distance as to Assumption church. The Sunday Mass is at 6.00pm.
There is no other churches near Armenian Street Heritage hotel (which is at Carnarvon Street) except those 2 I mentioned – the Assumption and St Francis Xavier. The walking distance is a bit far… about 15 mins.
Hi There,
Could someone tell me if the church of assumption is open daily to be able to walk in?
My grandmothers funeral is tomorrow back in Scotland at 5pm (penang time) and I would like to go along to light a candle and say a prayer for her.
Hope to hear back.
Thank you
Cheryl
I’ll be flying to Penang on May 13, 2015. I’ll stay at a hotel that nearby St Francis Xavier Church. Is there Morning Mass or Evening Mass will be held at the church? Perhaps any other church in George Town? thank you.
Hi there Chrispin Michael
The Mass times for all our 4 City Parish churches are stated here.
As you can see, the Church of St Francis Xavier does not have weekdays Mass but only Mass on Sunday.
Our Lady of Sorrows (OLS) church dose have morning Mass on Tuesday and Wednesday and evening Mass on Thursday and Friday. Please refer above for the time.
OLS church is nearby to St Francis Xavier church, within walking distance if you don’t mind the walk.
