Taipei Sacred Heart Church Introduction
Xinsheng South Road is known as the "Path to Paradise" because many religious sanctuaries, temples, and places of worship are gathered here. From south to north, there are Huai'en Church, Truth Church, a mosque, Holy Family Church, Taipei Church, and Wesley Church, with different religions located on the same Xinsheng South Road. Each religion has its unique characteristics, making it worth visiting. Holy Family Church is located across from Daan Forest Park and has a cross-shaped aerial view. At night, it emits a faint white light under illumination, creating a noble and pure atmosphere that draws one towards God. Holy Family Church is about 63 feet tall, has no columns, and features a tent-like structure that eliminates space constraints and visual barriers, designed to help people achieve spiritual tranquility and lift their hearts upward. The interior cleverly uses stained glass and skylights, creating a naturally sacred ambiance as if entering a holy place, clearing the mind of worldly distractions. In 1998, 18 pieces of stained glass depicting biblical stories, with a history of over a hundred years and created by the famous French artist Louis Comfort Tiffany, were brought from Belgium. Each segment of the stained glass includes explanations of the corresponding biblical stories, making it worthwhile to read the knowledge within and appreciate the beautiful artworks.
