Cathedral of the Good Shepherd

This guide to the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd in Singapore opens with a letter a French bishop wrote from a Korean prison cell in 1839, days before his execution, a line that later gave this cathedral its name. It follows the building's construction between 1843 and 1847 by an Irish architect who modeled it on two London churches, funded by donations gathered as far as the French royal court, and the debts that delayed its formal consecration until 1897. Listen for the twin-towered Palladian facade as you approach the portico.
