St. Francis Xavier's Church
Information correct as of Dec 21, 2020
St. Francis Xavier Church/Dongjiadu Lu Catholic Church is still, STILL closed, surrounded by heavy building work and construction sites, as it has been for years. It's supposed to reopen in 2021. So there won't be any Christmas services there this year unless you sneak in and stage your own Mass. We definitely don't encourage this.
