The mission of the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres begins.
About Greenfield
Located in Central, Hong Kong, Greenfield Pastoral Centre offers a place to pause in the midst of a busy city.
Through prayer, spiritual reflection, formation, sharing, volunteering and shared spaces, we accompany people from different backgrounds as they meet, learn and support one another. Our service draws on the longstanding mission of the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres.
The mission we carry forward
The Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres were founded in France in 1696 and came to Hong Kong in 1848. Following the example of St. Paul, the congregation has served through education, care for the poor and sick, and other responses to the needs of the community.
The work of Greenfield Pastoral Centre draws on the longstanding mission of the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres in education, care and service to people in need.

Central
GPC continues a spirit of accompaniment, prayer, encounter and service in the city centre.
From the congregation's mission to GPC today
Ways of serving change with the times, while the purpose remains. For GPC, this means keeping a place in busy Central where people can be still, be heard, pray, learn, meet and support one another.
An oasis to slow down in the bustle of the city.
What we do today
Prayer and reflection
A quiet setting for individuals and groups to pray, reflect on faith and find space to think.
Encounter and accompaniment
A place where people from different backgrounds can be heard and get to know one another with respect and without judgement.
Community and service
Activities, volunteering and partnerships connect the Church and the community in responding to practical needs.
Shared spaces
Spaces in Central for suitable church, school and service groups to gather, learn and exchange ideas.
Who is welcome
We welcome people seeking prayer, spiritual reflection, faith formation, sharing and group gatherings. Schools, church groups, social service organisations and other suitable groups are also welcome to enquire about our facilities.
If you simply need somewhere quiet in the city, or someone to listen to your story without judgement or assumptions, please get in touch.
