The Catholic Centre of Macau announced in a statement last night that it has completed reconstruction, with a grand ceremony scheduled to take place on Friday, June 12.
Located at the junction of Avenida da Praia Grande and Rua do Campo, the statement pointed out that the centre is still undergoing final government approval procedures and will mark “the official return of a landmark that has carried half a century of collective memories for Macau”, the statement said.
The 17-story centre is managed by Centro Católico Management Ltd., with operations divided between the Macau Catholic Centre (Association) and Catholic Centre Hotel.
The statement said that the centre integrates “hotel accommodation, dining facilities, lecture halls, conference rooms, exhibition spaces, and multi-purpose activity rooms”, serving tourists, pilgrims, and locals.
Before the building’s redevelopment, the centre included a well-patronised library on its ground floor.
The statement added that the reconstruction project began on September 8, 2021, while the topping-out ceremony was held on May 22, 2025. “Despite the severe challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the sharp rise in global construction costs, the project overcame difficulties through faith and support from all sides, and was successfully completed”.
