History
The cathedral was originally called Holy Trinity Church and it gained the "Cathedral" status in 2010. The church had been rebuilt three times and the present church building dates from 1937. The church was designed by Ng Kin Chung 吳建中, a draughtsman at the architectural firm Leigh & Orange. The building combines western construction methods of reinforced concrete structure and traditional Chinese elements of decoration as well as a Chinese roof. It survived serious damages during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in the Second World War.
Administration
The cathedral is part of the world-wide Anglican communion under the Diocese of Eastern Kowloon of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (Hong Kong province of Anglican Church).
