Where is the Catholic Church of Saint Anthony in Shenzhen?
St Anthony's Catholic Church in Shenzhen, located at No.65 Nonglin Road, Futian District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, is a Catholic church.

The foundation stone of San Antonio Hall was laid in April 1998 and completed in February 2006. This is the first newly built Catholic church in Shenzhen after the reform and opening up. St Anthony's Church covers an area of 3,944.80 square meters. The facade of the church is like a "clock" and a "boat", which is said to be a metaphor for the spirit of alarm bells ringing and helping each other in the same boat. In 20 10, there were about 30,000 Catholics in Shenzhen (including thousands of foreigners in Shenzhen and people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), and five priests were responsible for the work of nine parishes and mass points. St. Anthony's Church is an international parish, which provides English Mass every Sunday and adds French, German, Italian and other languages to read the Bible on special festivals. Around 220 10, a large LED electronic screen was installed on the exterior wall of the hall of Saint Antoine, and four projectors and six large televisions were installed in the hall. Since its establishment, St. Anthony's Church has been seconding priests from the Catholic diocese of Beijing as successive priests. Up to 20 10, Shenzhen Catholic Patriotic Association has organized 45 volunteer activity teams (including foreigners) to carry out activities such as learning to chant Buddhist scripture, cleaning up beach garbage, offering condolences to leprosy patients and widowed elderly people, making travel reservations, and carrying out sports. St Anthony's Church also offers free foreign language training courses. In addition, Shenzhen Catholic Patriotic Association often organizes voluntary blood donation activities.

The design of St. Anthony's Church in Shenzhen fully embodies the Catholic style of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and has a strong sense of the times. At the same time, the construction of the church embodies the painstaking efforts of countless religious leaders and members.

Shenzhen St. Anthony Catholic Church is an international parish. Every Sunday at 2:00 pm, the parish provides English mass for foreign parishioners living, traveling, working and studying in Shenzhen, and adds French, Italian, German and other languages to read the Bible on special festivals.
