Rosary Church is in the heart of Kowloon. This classic Gothic style church is considered as the oldest Catholic Church in Kowloon. Its original floor plan was drawn from a Roman Basilica model. History showed that the Rosary Church was built when a Portuguese Catholic, Dr. Anthony Gomes, made a donation in 1903 for a church building in loving memory of his parents and brother. The Pro-Vicar Apostolic at that time, Fr. De Maria, laid the foundation stone on December 10, 1904. A year after the church was completed and it was consecrated to Our Lady of Pompeii who is the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. Many British troops attended service there but the Catholics drew in number even during when the British troops left Hong Kong.

Now, the Catholic population is composed of Hong Kong citizens, Filipinos, Indians, and a number of Europeans and Americans. Many of them are families who come to attend mass on Sundays which is also considered a family day. For many foreigners working in Hong Kong, they find a sense of community in the Rosary Church. With more and more skyscrapers rising in Kowloon, Rosary Church stands beautifully in the midst of the growing metropolis. Just across the church is the Hong Kong Museum of History and many Catholic tourists who attend service in the church can have a stopover at the tourist landmark at the other side of the street.
