Rosary Church, Gothic church building in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.

The Rosary Church is a Gothic-style house of worship in the Yau Tsim Mong District on Kowloon's Chatham Road South and features the characteristic pointed arches and ribbed vaults of this architectural tradition. The building houses large stained glass windows that depict biblical scenes throughout its interior.

Built in 1901 to serve about 200 Catholic Indian soldiers stationed in Kowloon during the Boxer Rebellion, the church was rebuilt from 1904 with a $20,000 donation from Portuguese Catholic Dr. Anthony Gomes. Designed by Palmer and Turner, it was consecrated in 1905 to Our Lady of Pompeii. It is Kowloon's oldest Catholic church and was upgraded from Grade II to Grade I historic status in 2010.

The church was consecrated in 1905 to Our Lady of Pompeii, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, as requested by benefactor Dr. Anthony Gomes in memory of his parents and brother. Since 2009 it has hosted a Christian unity group, the only parish in Hong Kong with one, which holds unity concerts and visits other denominations.

Visiting works best during daytime when the church is open to visitors and the details of the windows and architecture are clearly visible. It is advisable to wear respectful clothing and note that access may be limited during services.

The church was consecrated on 23 May 1905 to Our Lady of Pompeii, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, following the wish of benefactor Dr A. S. Gomes, who gave $20,000 in 1903 in memory of his parents and brother. During the Second World War it was left untouched by the Japanese army and kept holding services under its Italian parish priest, Horace De Angelis.
