Opened in 1961:

Bishop Lorenzo Bianchi celebrated the consecration of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Tai Po on 11.6.1961.  Rev. Narciso Santinon of PIME was appointed the first rector.  To pay tribute to the Holy Mother, the church was thus named as the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.

I think I've got the right location, based on the GeoInfo map, but let me know if it needs moving.

It's the last remnant of the short-lived prison that was built on Stonecutters Island in the 19th Century.

At some later date it became the Garrison church. I wonder what it is used for now?

The church website says:

The Chapel itself was built after the war. The Foundation Stone was laid by Bishop R.O Hall on 10th December 1949 and the Chapel was consecrated on 4th March 1950. During the consecration, Bishop Hall dedicated the Chapel to those who died in the war and those who suffered here during the internment. We remember them on Remembrance Sunday in November every year.

As well as being the School Chapel, since 1977 it has also been home to the present English speaking congregation as a daughter church of St. John’s Cathedral
