History of Holy Redeemer Church, Bangkok:

To begin from the very beginning, it should be mentioned that the first Redemptorist church in Bangkok was begun in early November, 1949, and almost immediately given the name, unofficially, Our Lady of the Garage, a small wooden structure attached to the house we were renting.

 

We left this house after about two years and moved to a larger building that had once been a clinic belonging to Dr. Srichandra, a Catholic and an early benefactor of the Redemptorists. Sunday Masses, after this move, were at an open hall on the grounds of Mater Dei school.

 

During all this time we had been looking for property where we could build a permanent church and rectory, preferably in an area where we could easily be reached by the English – speaking Catholic community in Bangkok, the group that Monsignor Louis Chorin, the then head of the Catholic Church in Bangkok, felt to be more in need of pastoral care, due the lack of English speaking priests.

 

Construction of the church began in early 1954 under the supervision of a very capable architect named Acinelli, a Catholic, delighted at the prospect of building a Catholic Church after the manner of Thai architecture, an idea that had been suggested by the well – known American prelate, Msgr. Fulton Sheen, who happened to be visiting Thailand at the time the First Redemptorist arrived in the country

 

The church building was finished in 1954 and was opened on what the Holy Redeemer Church annals call “Dedication Day, October 24, 1954” The same annals record that the celebration that day began at 8:30 in the morning with a Mass that included the dedication of the church by Msgr. Louis Chorin, the Apostolic Delegate. Remember, this was at a time in history when the Catholic Church in Thailand was not yet divided into dioceses.
