Where we are

Xiamen City's main Catholic church is in Gulang Island. The only English Mass is held here every Sunday at 10:00 AM. You need to take the ferry to reach this place. Weekday Masses are usually celebrated in an old chapel near the Lundu station every morning. Click here to view the map.
