Church of Saints Peter and Paul

Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Eastern Orthodox church building in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is an Eastern Orthodox parish located on the twelfth floor of the Kingdom Power Commercial Building at 32-36 Des Voeux Road West. It features a library, a small bookstore, and a Sunday school program where people can explore Orthodox faith and religious texts.

On 10 July 1934 Bishop Victor of Beijing established the Hong Kong parish and assigned Archpriest Dmitry Uspensky as its rector; services were first held in an Anglican church. The parish closed in 1970 for lack of funds, and its vessels were sent to Australia. In 2004 Father Dionisy Pozdnyaev revived the community, and the Holy Synod officially restored the parish on 6 October 2008.

The parish keeps the name of the apostles Peter and Paul and, since 2006, has hosted a branch of the Orthodox Brotherhood of All Chinese Saints, whose vice-president is Archpriest Dionisy Pozdnyaev. In September 2007 a prayer service marked the start of the school year at the Russian-language study centre opened at the parish. In 2008 the Melbourne parish of the Holy Trinity returned the main icon of the two apostles as a sign of continuity with the pre-1972 community.

The church occupies a room on the twelfth floor of a building in Sheung Wan, in central Hong Kong, and services are held daily. Access is through the building's lobby and lift, so plan around the building's own entry arrangements rather than a street-level church door.

The main church icon of Saints Peter and Paul returned to Hong Kong in January 2008, brought back from Melbourne by Father Igor Filyanovsky of the Holy Trinity Parish as a sign of continuity with the pre-1970s community. In October 2008 the Seattle bishop Theodosius gave the parish relics of Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco.
