SINGAPORE - Two Catholic churches have opened their doors to people who sleep on the streets, offering them shelter for the night.
The Church of St Mary of the Angels in Bukit Batok started doing so for homeless people referred to them by the Catholic Welfare Services in late April, while the Church of Christ the King in Ang Mo Kio started in January last year.
