It is believed that the first Roman Catholic priest set foot in British Singapore in 1821 to attend to the needs of the growing community comprised largely of Europeans and some Chinese; however, it is probable that there had been Portuguese missionaries operating out of Malacca in Singapore during the Portuguese period, 1511-1641, prior to the British conquest.

Missionary schools, notably Saint Joseph's Institution, were established and attended by Roman Catholicsand non-Catholics (many of whom became converts).
