St. Francis Xavier Church

St. Francis Xavier Church, 1902

Cha Tam Church 

Serves the Vietnamese - Chinese Catholic community in Saigon Chinatown.

There was construction going on when we were there. I just quickly took a few pictures and left the site. Not supposed to enter anyways but the people there were kind and did not chase us out.







There was an old lady who cycled into the church compound, parked her "shop" here and looked at me. Then she smiled and waves at me. Ran off towards the church. The church was preparing bowls of food. Not sure whether it was to be given to folks or for purchase at a minimum price. Whatever it was, the old lady was running towards the food section. My guess that that would be her breakfast that day.
