Igreja de São Francisco Xavier, Catholic church in Mong-Ha district, Macau, China
Igreja de São Francisco Xavier is a Catholic church in Mong-Ha district featuring black marble altars, large windows, and connecting courtyards that flow naturally between interior and exterior spaces. The interior layout emphasizes light and openness throughout the building.
The building was constructed in 1907 and underwent reconstruction in 1938 following some deterioration. It expanded in 1951 to serve the growing congregation.
The church serves as the spiritual center of Mong-Ha district and displays how Portuguese building traditions merged with local design influences over time. Visitors can observe this blend in the window designs and interior layout.
Visits work best when services are not in session, as the church holds regular weekday activities. Contact the Macau Diocese office for specific access details.
The church sits on a compound shared with a retirement home run by Caritas Macau. This arrangement shows how the site extends beyond religious functions into community care work.
