Eleven Catholic parishes in Singapore list a Tagalog or Filipino Mass on their own websites, and only one of them (Blessed Sacrament, Commonwealth) runs it every week; the rest fall on a fixed Sunday or Saturday of the month. The table below gives you the day, time and nearest MRT for each, checked against the parish page on 4 October 2026.

Mass times move. A parish shifts its Tagalog Mass for Holy Week, Christmas, a feast day or a priest's leave, and the website is not always the first place that changes. Treat this table as your map, then check the parish bulletin or Facebook page the week you plan to go.

Weekly Tagalog Masses

Only one parish gives you a Tagalog Mass every Sunday.

Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Commonwealth. The Sunday 3:15pm Mass is in Tagalog, "except on 3rd Sunday, Mass will be in English" [bsc.org.sg/mass-other-services]. The time moved from 3pm to 3:15pm in April 2025, so older listings and group chats still show the wrong slot. The church sits at 1 Commonwealth Drive, Singapore 149603 [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Blessed_Sacrament_(Singapore)], a short walk from Commonwealth MRT. If you work in Queenstown, Redhill or Tiong Bahru, this is your parish.

That is the whole list for weekly. If you need a Tagalog Mass every Sunday and Commonwealth is too far, pair two monthly parishes near you, or go to an English Mass on the off weeks.

Monthly Tagalog Masses

Most Filipino communities in Singapore gather once a month, on a fixed Sunday or Saturday that the parish has kept for years. Here they are by week.

First week of the month

Church of St Stephen, Sallim Road. "1st Sunday of the month, 3 pm" [ststephen.sg]. The parish's Filipino community, SSCFilComS, has run since September 2009 and describes itself as "a vibrant Filipino community" with its own choir, Koro ni Teban, and seven ministries [ststephen.sg/filipino-community]. Expect a Santo Niño Mass in January, a Family Block Rosary Mass in October and Simbang Gabi in December, all listed on the community page.

Church of the Sacred Heart, Tank Road. "1ST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH: 4pm (Tagalog)" [churchofthesacredheart.sg]. This is the closest Tagalog Mass to Orchard Road, so it fills with kababayans coming off a Lucky Plaza Sunday. The site lists no Filipino community page, so ask at the office (6737 9285) if you want to join the choir or wardens.

Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea, Yishun. The parish's Filipino Apostolate page mentions a "1st Saturday Tagalog mass" and a monthly meeting "every 1st Saturday of the month after the Tagalog mass and fellowship" [olss.sg/ministries/filipino-apostolate]. The parish publishes its full timetable only as an image, so we could not read the time off the page. The weekdaymasses.org.uk directory lists it as the 6:30pm vigil on the first Saturday [weekdaymasses.org.uk/en/area/singapore/churches]; confirm with the office at 6257 4229 before you travel.

Third week of the month

Church of Our Lady Queen of Peace, Sandy Lane. SPARKLE, the parish's Filipino community, gathers "every 3rd Sunday of the month" for "the recitation of the Tagalog Rosary at 1.30pm, followed by the celebration of the Tagalog Mass at 2.00pm" [queenofpeace.sg/sparkle]. Address: 4 Sandy Lane, Singapore 437321, off Haig Road.

Church of St Francis of Assisi, Boon Lay. The Sunday timetable shows "2:00 pm (Tagalog)" on the "3rd Sunday of the month" [csfa.sg]. The parish is the big migrant church in the west; a 2016 AsiaNews report counted around 700 Filipinos in a congregation of 4,500 [asianews.it, Singapore's St Francis of Assisi parish is home to thousands of economic migrants]. Note that the weekdaymasses directory still shows this Mass at 1pm; the parish site says 2pm, so go with the parish.

Church of Divine Mercy, Pasir Ris. "Every 3rd Sat 7.30pm" in the main church [new.divinemercy.sg/timings], at 19 Pasir Ris Street 72, Singapore 518771. Handy if you live in Pasir Ris, Tampines or Punggol and want a Saturday night Mass so Sunday stays free.

Fourth and fifth week of the month

Church of St Anthony, Woodlands. The Mass page lists Tagalog at "7.30pm on Eve (Sat) of 4th Sun of the the month (Refer to the Church Bulletin for the Date)" [saint-anthony.org/mass-schedules-devotion-timings-singapore-mass-timing-schedule]. The Filipino community page, FilcomSAPP, calls it a "3rd Sunday Tagalog Mass" [saint-anthony.org/community/filipino-community], so the two pages disagree. The Mass page tells you to follow the bulletin, and that is the right move; check the latest "Voice" bulletin PDF on the parish site before you go. The parish is at 25 Woodlands Avenue 1, Singapore 739064; from Woodlands MRT take bus 912, 912B, 912M or 913M from berth 12 and alight at the fifth stop [saint-anthony.org/directions-to-church-getting-to-church].

Church of the Risen Christ, Toa Payoh. "4th Sunday, 3pm" [risenchrist.org.sg], at 91 Toa Payoh Central, Singapore 319193 [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Risen_Christ]. The same parish runs a Bahasa Indonesia Mass on the first Friday and a Tamil Mass on the second Sunday, so the hall culture is used to migrant communities.

Church of St Bernadette, Zion Road. "Tagalog Mass - 1.45pm every 4th & 5th Sunday of the month" [stbernadette.org.sg/csb-filcom]. Fellowship follows at the multi-purpose hall with Filipino food, and the community's line is "One Big Unified Filipino Community. Ready to serve and not to be served." Email csb.filcom@catholic.org.sg to join a ministry. Address: 12 Zion Road, Singapore 247731.

Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Siglap. The rarest one: "Every 5th Sunday of the month at 2:30pm. Rosary Prayers will begin at 2:00pm," with fellowship at the canteen from 3:30pm to 5pm [olps.sg/mass-schedule]. The parish prints the 2026 dates: 29 March, 31 May, 30 August and 29 November. Address: 31 Siglap Hill, Singapore 456085 [olps.sg].

Filipino Catholic communities by parish

Joining the Filcom is how you get the Simbang Gabi schedule, the Santo Niño feast, Flores de Mayo and the Visita Iglesia bus before anyone posts them. Every contact here comes from the parish site.

Across parishes, Couples for Christ Singapore has run since 1987 with members from more than ten parishes [holytrinity.org.sg/category/ministry/couples-for-christ-cfc]. For anything beyond the parish, the Archdiocese's migrant arm is ACMI at Agape Village, 7 Lorong 8 Toa Payoh, which handles casework, counselling and pastoral care for migrants of any nationality [acmi.org.sg].

On Filipino priests: none of the parish pages we checked names a priest's nationality, and the Archdiocese directory does not tag clergy by country. St Stephen lists Fr Cornelius Vianney Ching as parish priest with Fr Lourdusamy Prasanna, HGN, as assistant [ststephen.sg/our-priests]; that is the kind of page to check if you want to know who celebrates your Filcom Mass. We will not guess at anyone's passport.

Non-Catholic Filipino services

Protestant and evangelical kababayans have more weekly options than Catholics do, and most run in the early afternoon so that domestic workers can make it on a Sunday off.

Confession, baptism and wedding paperwork for Filipinos

The Archdiocese, not the Embassy, sets the church rules. The Embassy comes in after the wedding.

Confession. No parish on this list advertises a Tagalog confession slot. Confession runs in English before Mass at most parishes; Novena Church states "confession available 30 minutes before mass" [novenachurch.com]. Ask the priest after the Tagalog Mass if you want it in Tagalog.

Infant baptism. Parishes in the Archdiocese ask for the child's birth certificate, the parents' baptism certificates, the parents' church and civil marriage certificates, and the godparents' baptism, confirmation and marriage certificates [stmichael.catholic.sg/infant-baptism-csm]. Godparents must be "confirmed, practising Catholics, at least 16 years of age", at most one man and one woman, and "one parent must be a practising Catholic" [stmichael.catholic.sg/infant-baptism-csm]. Papers go in "at least one month before" the preparation session, and the parish suggests registering while the mother is in her second or third trimester [stmichael.catholic.sg/infant-baptism-csm]. Documents from a Philippine parish are fine; bring originals and ask your home parish for a fresh copy if yours is older or damaged.

Catholic wedding. The Archdiocese requires couples to notify their Singapore parish 12 months before the wedding and to complete a Marriage Preparation Course or Catholic Engaged Encounter weekend [chancery.catholic.sg/guidelines-getting-married-archdiocese-singapore]. The document list, as published by the Church of St Anthony, is: "Baptismal Extracts for Catholic parties (within 6 months' validity)", "Copy of Birth Certificates (Bridegroom & Bride)", the course certificate, and your civil wedding certificate if you already married at ROM [saint-anthony.org/matrimony-sacraments]. A non-Catholic baptised partner adds a "Trinitarian Baptismal Certificate" and the priest applies to the Archbishop for permission [saint-anthony.org/matrimony-sacraments]. Foreigners marrying in Singapore must send their documents to the Chancery "at least six months before their wedding date", and couples marrying in the Philippines should tell their Singapore parish early so the Chancery can courier the papers to the Philippine diocese [saint-anthony.org/matrimony-sacraments].

Philippine Embassy, after the wedding. Filipinos who marry in Singapore file a Report of Marriage at the Embassy, by appointment only, so the PSA records it. The Embassy lists four copies each of the ROM form, marriage certificate, both passports' data pages, both birth certificates, and a PSA Negative Certificate of Marriage Record with QR code, originals to be shown [philippine-embassy.org.sg/consular/civil-registry/report-of-marriage]. Marriages over a year old use the late-registration form. The Embassy is at 20 Nassim Road, Singapore 258395, open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5pm [philippine-embassy.org.sg]. For a civil wedding at ROM before the church one, the Embassy issues a No Impediment to Marry certificate [philippine-embassy.org.sg/consular/civil-registry/getting-a-no-impediment-to-marry-certificate]. Our Embassy guide covers the queue and the appointment system: filipinos.sg/embassy.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a weekly Tagalog Mass in Singapore?

Yes, one. The Church of the Blessed Sacrament at 1 Commonwealth Drive holds a Tagalog Mass every Sunday at 3:15pm, except on the third Sunday when that Mass switches to English. Every other parish on this list runs its Tagalog Mass once a month, tied to a fixed Sunday or Saturday of the month.

Which Tagalog Mass is nearest Lucky Plaza?

The Church of the Sacred Heart on Tank Road, one stop from Orchard on the Thomson-East Coast Line or a 15-minute walk down Orchard Road. Its Tagalog Mass falls on the first Sunday of the month at 4pm. On other Sundays, Blessed Sacrament at Commonwealth is four stops west on the East-West Line.

Can I take Communion at an English Mass if I miss the Tagalog one?

Yes. The Catholic Mass is the same rite in any language, and your Sunday obligation is met at any Catholic church in Singapore. Most parishes on this list run English Masses on Sunday morning and evening. Go to whichever fits your day off; the Tagalog Mass is a community gathering, not a requirement.

What do I bring to have my baby baptised in Singapore?

Parishes ask for the child's birth certificate, the parents' baptism and marriage certificates (church and civil), and the godparents' baptism and confirmation certificates. Godparents must be confirmed practising Catholics aged 16 or above. Submit the papers at least a month before the preparation session and register with your parish early, even before the birth.

Can I get married in a Singapore Catholic church on a work permit?

Yes, if at least one of you is a baptised Catholic and you follow the Archdiocese timeline. Tell the parish 12 months before the wedding, finish a Marriage Preparation Course or Catholic Engaged Encounter weekend, and bring a baptismal extract issued within the last six months, birth certificates, and your civil marriage certificate if you have one. The Embassy also wants a Report of Marriage afterwards so the PSA records it.

Where can I go to confession in Tagalog?

No parish website we checked advertises confession in Tagalog as a fixed slot. Confession is available in English before most Masses; Novena Church, for example, lists it 30 minutes before each Mass. If you want to confess in Tagalog, ask at the parish office or catch the priest after the monthly Tagalog Mass and request a time.
