FAQs
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do we need to build a new church?
The Chapel of Kristus Aman's current facilities at TTDI are inadequate for our growing community's needs. A new church will provide a permanent and appropriate space for worship and community engagement.
The prayers of the parishioners of the Chapel of Kristus Aman (“KA”) over the past 40 years for a permanent home to worship the Lord has now been answered with the Selangor State Government’s gift of a piece of land of 18,000sq. ft. next to the Kwasa Damansara MRT Station. The parishioners of KA have been entrusted by Archbishop Julian Leow to this project of building the new Church which will be named the “Church of the Holy Spirit”.
Where will the new church be located?
The new church, named "The Church of the Holy Spirit,” will be situated at Lot 94217, Jalan Tasik Chanderoh U4/28A, Kwasa Damansara, diagonally opposite the Kwasa Damansara MRT Station.
The land for the new church was graciously allocated by the Selangor State Government to the Titular Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur, recognising the necessity for a place of worship in this growing township. It also will contribute positively to the social and economic fabric in Kwasa Damansara.
What impact will the new church have on the community?
The new church will not only fulfill the spiritual needs of KA’s parishioners but also foster a sense of belonging and community within Kwasa Damansara. It will provide a hub for fellowship, support, and outreach programs benefiting the wider community.
Will all the existing KA parishioners automatically belong to the new church in the future?
The new church, while serving the anticipated growing population of Catholics in Kwasa Damansara , will also cater to the spiritual needs of the surrounding areas, and the current community of the Chapel of Kristus Aman, now based in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail , where the facilities are inadequate and the building is ill-suited to serve as a proper place of worship.
