Sub-parish of Sacred Heart Cathedral
(History as extracted from the book 100 years of Good News)
With the congregation at the Cathedral growing so quickly after the 1970s, the parish was becoming too big to handle. Plans were made to set up the sub-parishes in the major suburbs of Kota Kinabalu. Construction of the first sub-parish St Simon Chapel (now known as St. Simon’s Church) was completed in August 1984.
The initiative for the second sub-parish came from the late Fr. Thomas Sham during his term as Rector of Sacred Heart Cathedral from 1987 to 1991. He took steps to draw up plans and raise funds for the construction of the CHURCH OF MARY IMMACULATE at Bukit Padang, in the suburb of Luyang. The Church was blessed by Bishop John Lee on 31st October 1993 caters for two Masses, namely Sunset Mass on Saturday in Chinese and 9.00 a.m. Mass in English on Sunday.
As at 2012, Korean Mass is celebrated at this church every Sunday at 11.00 a.m.
