Said to be symbolic of the Vatican Council’s new and liberal attitude/approach with its contemporary design, St Joseph’s Church located on the prime location of Garden Road in Hong Kong was utterly ravaged by a typhoon in 1874, was rebuilt in 1876 and then in 1949 erected in its present form. Its blue exterior and the modern design also bears testimony to the wealth of Catholicism in Hong Kong. This church offers three daily masses and ten masses every Sunday making it one of the most bustling churches in the city.
