      • Holy Trinity Cathedral, in Kowloon, Hong Kong, is a cathedral for the Anglican Eastern Kowloon diocese. It was established in 1890, making it one of the oldest Anglican churches in Hong Kong. The cathedral is one of the three Anglican cathedrals of the Hong Kong Anglican church (the other two are St John's Cathedral and All Saints' Cathedral).


      History


      The cathedral was established as Holy Trinity Church in 1890 and consecrated as a cathedral in 2010. The church had been rebuilt twice in nearby locations before finally settled down in its current location at 135 Ma Tau Chung Road, Kowloon. The current structure was built in 1937 and designed by Ng Kin-chung, a draftsman from Leigh and Orange, an architectural firm. The church combines western and traditional Chinese architectural styles. Reinforced concrete structures and traditional Chinese decorations can be seen inside the church and on its roof respectively. It has survived some serious damage during the Japanese occupation in the Second World War between 1941 and 1945.
      The Diocesan Office is located in the nearby Holy Trinity Bradbury Centre, on 139 Ma Tau Chung Road. Holy Trinity Centre Kindergarten & Day Nursery, an affiliated school of the cathedral, is also located in Holy Trinity Bradbury Centre.


      Governance


      The cathedral, like other Anglican churches in Hong Kong, is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It is under the Diocese of Eastern Kowloon of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui.
