Built in 1951, this small attractive church is attached to an old people's home, near the hill of Mong-Ha. The interior is simple and tranquil with a modernist black marble altar. High louvred shutters along the walls open to pleasant courtyards and gardens.

The chapel contains some of the most sacred relics of Christian Asia. In a silver reliquary is a bone from the arm of St. Francis Xavier, who followed his missionary successes in Japan by coming to the China coast, where he died in 1552 on Sanchuan Island, 50 miles from Macau. The relic was destined for Japan but religious persecution there persuaded the church to keep it in Macau' s St. Paul' s. It was moved first to St. Joseph′ s and in 1978 to the chapel.
