Notes from heritage.catholic.org.hk:

Our Lady of Lourdes Church, located in Hong Kong South, was founded by Rev. Joseph Gazelu and other Brother of the Missions Etrangeres de Paris (MEP).  As early as 1870, after building the Bethanie Monastery in Pokfulam area, Paris Foreign Mission also purchased a nearby building as the printing factory named ‘Tai Koo Lau’.
 

St Mary’s Church, Causeway Bay, began as a chapel built in 1911 under the direction of Bishop Lander (1908-1920) primarily to provide a centre for worship for the residents of the Eyre Diocesan Refuge nearby, founded in 1898 to rescue destitute local women.   Before the church/chapel was built worshippers had to be collected from the refuge and taken to St Stephen’s Church on Bonham Road,&nbs
