Ching Chuan Catholic Church Introduction
The tranquil breeze resonates with the solemnity of the church, as it flows across the suspension bridge and slowly ascends the stone steps. The Sacred Heart Church stands on the mountainside, overlooking the land of Wufeng, as if embracing it. This unique church serves as a center of art, spirit, and culture for the village. In 1976, a young priest named Father Ding Songqing arrived in Qingquan, where he built the church with love and beauty. Inside the church, the vibrant stained glass, the murals and wood carvings found throughout, and even the large mosaic wall beside the basketball court outside are all creations of the priest, skillfully blending biblical stories with indigenous legends. Father Ding infused his colorful youth into Qingquan, adding warmth and vibrancy to this originally quiet area through art.
