PHNOM PENH (UCAN) — The 1970s was a very difficult time for the Church and Cambodia. As a result of the civil war and the Khmer Rouge’s reign of terror, many priests and Church workers were killed and churches confiscated for other uses.
One such church in Phnom Penh is now a residential building housing around 80 people. The only clue it used to be a church is the cross that still stands on its roof.
The church was rediscovered thanks to the efforts of a young Catholic photographer, who put together a photo documentary of the building and its environs in its current state.
