St Michaels Church, Penampang


image

St. Michael?s Church is a Roman Catholic church in Donggongon, a town in the district of Penampang in the Malaysian state of Sabah. It is the oldest church in the district of Penampang and the second oldest stone church in Sabah, after St. Michael?s and All Angels Church in Sandakan. The history of the church started with the Mill Hill Missionaries who came to Penampang in 1886. The missionaries, led by Fr. Alexander Prenger, set up a base in Kampung Inobong where a church now known as Sacred Heart Church currently stand.

By the early 1930s, the building of the Stone Church began, initiated by Fr. August Wachter. As early as April 1929, Fr. Wachter already had the intention of building this church. The foundation stone for the new church was laid during a special ceremony on 29 September 1936, the Feast of St. Michael. Fr. Wachter had specially invited Brother Aegidius Leiter, the master builder, to be responsible for the building of the church. Nonetheless, the construction was postponed during the Second World War only to resume and complete in 1947.
