St. John's Cathedral Bukit Nanas

This guide to St. John's Cathedral Bukit Nanas in Kuala Lumpur opens with a 2023 ceiling collapse before reaching back to 1883, when a French priest named Father Letessier climbed this hill with almost no money and a Chinese Catholic miner's donation to build the first wooden church. It follows the community through decades of growth into today's cathedral, consecrated in 1962 as the mother church of the archdiocese. Look up at the Paris-made stained glass behind the altar.
