Our Lady of Fatima Church, Catholic church in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong.
Our Lady of Fatima Church is a two-storey white building on Church Road in Tung Wan, Cheung Chau, consecrated on 13 October 1952. The church was extended in 1959 and reopened on 13 November 1961, covering 2,730 square feet with a gabled tiled roof, stained-glass windows on both sides, a height of 30 feet and seating for 200. A statue of Our Lady of Fatima bought from Fatima, Portugal, stands in a grotto behind the altar.
The construction of the church was completed in 1952, establishing a lasting Catholic presence on the island. This milestone marked an important moment for the faithful in Cheung Chau who now had a permanent place of worship.
The church serves as the spiritual center for the Catholic community on the island, where locals gather for weekly worship and holiday celebrations. It reflects the faith and identity of generations of residents who have worshipped within its walls.
The church is easily accessible from the main areas of the island and welcomes visitors during its regular daily services. People can spend time in the prayer spaces at their own pace to sit quietly or light a candle.
The statue of Our Lady of Fatima was bought in Fátima, Portugal, and has remained in the church since 1952. On 13 October 1953, Bishop Bianchi led over a thousand diocesan faithful to Cheung Chau for the first pilgrimage, and the parish has held its patronal feast every October since.
