History
[edit]This church was proposed in 1960 by the principal of St. Mark's School in that time, Mr. James Shiu-Wah Pun due to the increasing in Shau Kei Wan and Sai Wan Ho. Sheng Kung Hui approved the proposal in 1961.[1]
Then in 1968, with money from the congregation of New Hampshire,[1] the church was built on the present site, 6 Ah Kung Ngam Rd, Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong[2].
This Church is now the Parish Church of St. Mark's School, Hong Kong.
