Gazing up at St. Mary’s Church, imagine the plight of refugees arriving in 1950s Hong Kong. St. Mary’s Church in Hung Hom stands as a testament to their resilience. Bishop Bianchi, himself a refugee, recognized the needs of those settling near Tai Wan Shan. In 1959, he built St. Mary’s Church on Dyer Avenue, the main road to Tai Wan Shan. This granite structure became a beacon of hope for the displaced community. St. Mary’s Church quickly became more than just a place of worship. It evolved into a symbol of community, offering solace and support. In the 1980s, Father Peter Leung introduced a unique practice. He began placing ancestral tablets of parishioners within the church. This blended traditional Chinese values with Catholic practices. This progressive move further solidified St. Mary’s Church’s role as a bridge between cultures. St. Mary’s Church in Hung Hom stands proudly on Dyer Avenue. It is a reminder of the strength and faith of those who sought refuge in Hong Kong. The church continues to serve the community. It is a place where history, culture, and faith intertwine.
