History
Then Archbishop, Nicholas Chia announced in 2003 that a site was allocated to build a new church for Catholics in Pasir Ris-Loyang. Church of the Holy Trinity in Tampines was at capacity. The land given was 3,000 square metres (32,000 sq ft). Archbishop Nicholas Chia attended the ground breaking ceremony on 10 February 2007.
The first mass took place at Hai Sing Catholic School on 18 April 2009, attended by the church community. The church opened on 12 December 2010.
Father Piotr Prusakiewicz from Poland brought a relic of Faustina Kowalska, the patron saint of Divine Mercy. For three nights, Fr. Piotr led the congregation through devotions to the Divine Mercy and Mass to prepare the community for the Dedication and Blessing of CDM. The Dedication and Blessing of the Church was on 9 January 2010. Mass was officiated by Nicholas Chia.
