St. Teresa's Church (Hong Kong)

St. Teresa's Church () is a Roman Catholic church in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.

History

St. Teresa's Church was established on 23 April 1932. It was designed by the architectural practice of the Crédit Foncier d'Extrême-Orient.

The design of the Church came from the famous Holland Benedictine Order artist cum architect Rev. Fr. Adalbert Gresnigt O.S.B. His works spread across USA, Brazil etc. The Beijing Fu Jen University and Holy Spirit Seminary are example of his work. He adopted the Roman round figures to design the St. Teresa Church, making its atmosphere simple yet sincere.

The Church is the one of the Jubilee Pilgrimage Shrine during the 2016 Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy.
