Chapter 2: Christ the King celebration at Hong Kong



We arrive at HK Saturday morning, and all through the day was spent walking around Tsim Sha Tsui, Nathan Road, Jordan St. I'll have a separate article about life in the street in HK. Sunday morning was spent first in the church. The St. Mary Rosary Church along Chatham Road,a 20 minute walk from our place. I didn't had the chance to take picture inside the church coz it wa forbidden. The church inside was fully air-conditioned and except from Pinoy attending the mass there are a lot of Indian and Chinese people attending the mass. The priest who celebrate the mass is an Indian descent while the commentator was a Filipina and the choir people are mixed Chinese, British and Filipinos.

In fairness to their service, they don't use projector for the songs, instead they had songbook tucked in front of their seats. And the service is in English din. I've heard there are a lot of Catholic Church in Hongkong, which is good, and also Christian church is a big hit in HK. I've seen a lot of poster around Nathan Road inviting people to attend their services every Sunday (with free food ha!) and in the place where we stayed some Filipinos also have a charismatic group there, with services every Saturday and Sunday din. Saya di ba?



All in all, it was a great experience, nagkataon pa na it was Christ the King day, very memorable tuloy ang araw na ito.
