Thank you Lord for bringing us there!
St Joseph's Church
Can you see the design of the baptism pool? When Jesus baptise there's the light from above while heaven was opened and pigeon signifies Holy Spirit! The Baptism of Jesus 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. 16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
It is one of the newest church built in Hong Kong Catholic Parish, the architecture is more modern to echo with the newly develop community in Hang Hau & Tsuen Kwan O area. And the doors you can see the design of the bible expressed in physical forms! The Feeding of the Five Thousand (Matthew 14:13-21; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15) 41And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all.

While it looks like it is the picture of the Last Supper. It is actually the dinner in heaven - everyone's invited! The glass is actually made in Italy and specially shipped in! Lovely to be here with daddy and mommy! You can see the stones are symbol of fish and also the net, because St Andrew was a fishermen and being called to follow Jesus! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_the_Apostle
