The altar decoration inside the church is a gift from the Pope of Rome. It is exquisitely carved and very luxurious and precious. The church was originally built of wood and was built in 1877. The current building was rebuilt in 1924. The bell tower outside the church is 10 stories high, and there is a popular chicken on the top of the tower, which is also a landmark building in Yuanding area. There is a message book in the church. You can write down your wishes or prayers in Japanese. The church will pray for you together during Mass service.
