If you want to stay at Bukit Mertajam and near by this church, you can stay at Vince Villa. It was only 4 min walk to this church. If you 1st time come to this church, don't forget make a wish at the wishing pool and get the St Anne water at the hills.

A Pilgrimage to St. Anne's Minor Basilica
#travellerswonderland
Nestled in the heart of Bukit Mertajam, St. Anne's Minor Basilica stands as a testament to faith and devotion. This grand Catholic church, with its iconic twin spires, is a popular pilgrimage site for both locals and visitors from far and wide.
The basilica's history dates back to the late 19th century, when the original wooden church was built. Over the years, it has undergone several renovations and expansions to accommodate the growing congregation. The current structure, completed in 1995, is a magnificent blend of modern architecture and traditional elements.
Inside the basilica, you'll be greeted by a sense of tranquility and awe. The spacious interior is adorned with intricate carvings, stained glass windows, and stunning murals that depict the life of St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary. The altar, a centerpiece of the church, is a sight to behold, with its ornate design and religious symbolism.
Whether you're a devout Catholic or simply seeking a peaceful place to reflect, St. Anne's Minor Basilica is a must-visit destination in Bukit Mertajam. Its rich history, architectural beauty, and spiritual significance make it a truly special place.

Stepping onto the sacred grounds of St. Anne's Sanctuary, I felt a blend of anticipation and reverence. The journey to this revered site was marked by a mix of excitement and solemnity, as if each step brought me closer to a place of profound significance.
As I approached the weathered chapel, its presence seemed to beckon me forward, urging me to immerse myself in its storied history and timeless spirituality. The origins of St. Anne's Sanctuary can be traced back to 1833, when Chinese and Indian migrant workers arrived from the Batu Kawan area in Penang. French missionaries from Batu Kawan came to Bukit Mertajam to minister to the Catholic families in the area, eventually leading to the establishment of the sanctuary.
Inside, the scent of incense filled the air, mingling with the soft murmur of prayers that echoed through the sacred space. Wandering through the tranquil gardens, I marveled at the statues of Passion and the graceful architecture that surrounded me. Each corner of the sanctuary seemed to hold a piece of the past, a reminder of the enduring legacy of faith that had brought me here.
Leaving St. Anne's Sanctuary, I carried with me a sense of peace and renewal, grateful for the opportunity to have experienced such a sacred place firsthand.
