Sacred Heart Cathedral, Sibu, Roman Catholic cathedral in Sibu, Malaysia
Sacred Heart Cathedral is a Roman Catholic place of worship in Sibu featuring tall stained glass windows that depict biblical scenes and incorporate local architectural elements into its design. The building blends traditional church features with regional building styles, creating a distinct mix of European and local influences.
The place of worship started in 1905 as a wooden structure built on stilts, underwent brick reconstruction in 1953, and took its present form in 1985. This development shows how it grew with the changing needs of Sibu's Catholic population over nearly a century.
The cathedral brings together Catholics from different backgrounds and traditions within Sibu's multicultural community. Services here reflect this diversity and create a welcoming space for people of various cultures.
The building is located on Jalan Lanang and is generally open on weekdays from early morning to late afternoon, with limited hours on Saturdays until midday. Visitors should check opening times and wear appropriate clothing if planning to attend services.
The building underwent major renovation in 2015 that increased its capacity to over 3000 worshippers, making it one of the larger religious sites in the region. This expansion reflects how significantly the Catholic community in Sibu has grown.
