NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL OF SAIGON
The front of the church turns to the Southeast, towards Nguyen Du Street, the back heads to the current Le Duan Street. The construction was done fairly quickly, nearly 3 years. On 11th April 1880, a blessing ceremony and inauguration ceremony of Saigon Cathedral was solemnly celebrated by Bishop Colombert with the participation of Cochinchina Governor – Charles Le Myre de Vilers. All construction materials for the church such as cement, steel, tile, stained glass, bells, etc. were all transported from France. The outside of the buildings, for instance, was built totally of red bricks from Marseille without being plastered or cemented. However, it still remains a fresh orange-red color until today. In the beginning, the Church was called the State Church, because all the construction funding was provided by the French State, with an amount of up to 2,500,000 francs at that time. In 1895, the Church built two more bell towers, each tower was 57.6 meters high and had 6 large copper bells. In 1958, the governor of the Saigon at that time, Father Joseph Pham Van Thien, ordered a statue of the Mother of Peace on white marble. The statue was carved in Italy and transported to Saigon by sea in 1959. After that, Société d’Entreprises Company erected a statue of Our Lady on a stone pedestal that has been empty since 1945 in front of the church. At the end of the ceremony of the National Congregation of the Holy Mother, Cardinal Aganianian from Rome blessed the statue in the afternoon of 17th February 1959. From this event, the Church was named Notre Dame Cathedral.
