Relocation and Rebuilding of Zhangjialou Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church
Foundation Stone
In the Year of Our Lord
25 April 2002
Feast of St Mark

Zhangjialou Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church originally stood at 41 Zhangjialou, Pudong, beside what is now Tongmao Tower on Yuanshen Road. To meet the development needs of Pudong New Area, it was relocated on 25 September 1999 to the Hongfeng Road area of the Jinqiao Development Zone. A new design was prepared for the church, and the foundation stone was laid and construction began on 25 April 2002. Building work took more than a year; the following year, the church was consecrated and reopened on the parish's patronal feast day. The Bishop of Shanghai attended in person and celebrated a solemn Mass of thanksgiving for God's grace.
Respectfully recorded by the Catholic Diocese of Shanghai

Let God come and see what we have done in his name, and let him see that we have fulfilled his will.

Words from the priest
The two communities in this parish believe in one God, share the same faith, and share an understanding and pursuit of truth, mercy and blessing, although they have different cultural backgrounds, customs, habits and ways of expressing themselves. The church is a sign of God's presence on earth, where he meets us and refreshes our minds and bodies. It is a place of holiness, solemnity, serenity, cleanliness and order. We gather here to listen to his word and find peace in him. Persevere in prayer, rejoice in hope, be merciful and grateful, and remain modest, friendly, selfless and patient. God loves you: please love his home.

Our translation of the Chinese

The story of Zhangjialou Catholic Church begins with Xu Guangqi (徐光启), a pioneer of modern science in China. Xu Guangqi (1562–1633), known as one of the Three Pillars of early Chinese Catholicism, played a considerable role in spreading Catholicism and studying “Western learning” after his conversion. In the thirty-fifth year of the Wanli reign (1607), a Catholic named Zhang Jingqiao (张景乔), whose ancestral home was in Hebei Province, accompanied Xu Guangqi back to Shanghai. He later built a multistorey house in Pudong and settled there. The place, which had not previously borne that name, consequently became known as Zhangjialou, “the Zhang family's multistorey house”, and became the earliest village in Pudong to have Catholic inhabitants. In the thirty-ninth year of the Qianlong reign (1744, as printed), a descendant of the Zhang family, Zhang Yujing (张宇敬), built a small chapel at Zhangjialou, naming it the Church of the Finding of the Cross [the Chinese name is printed as 寻获十安架堂, with 安 in place of the standard 字 in “cross”]. In the twenty-third year of the Daoguang reign (1843), the small chapel could no longer accommodate the growing congregation, so it was rebuilt and enlarged. St Ambrose was chosen as its patron, and it was renamed St Ambrose's Church. Over the next nearly one hundred years, it was extended several more times. The interior was decorated in the manner of a Western palace, the church had a cruciform plan, and a domed bell tower was built. It became one of the larger Catholic churches along the Huangpu River in Pudong, accommodating nearly a thousand people, and was renamed the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. That name has remained in use, though most Catholics still habitually call it Zhangjialou Catholic Church. In 1933, the Zhangjialou main parish district was established, and the Sacred Heart Church became the residence of its senior parish priest.

The original site of Zhangjialou Sacred Heart of Jesus Church was at the northeastern end of Zhangjialou Village in Pudong, now north of Tongmao Tower on the west side of Yuanshen Road. Zhang Jingqiao, a Catholic from Zhangjiakou in Hebei, moved with his three sons from Zhangjiawan in Pudong to the northwestern corner of Wujiayan. His ninth-generation descendant, Zhang Ruogu (张若谷), made a major contribution to the completion of the Sacred Heart Church, and his reputation is still passed down among the family. In 1932, a separate Zhangjialou deanery was established in Pudong, and the church served as its seat. Its first dean was the Chinese priest Ruan Zongwei (阮宗威). In the less than one hundred years following the completion of Zhangjialou Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, many men and women dedicated themselves to serving God: eighteen were ordained as priests, twenty-nine became nuns, and several dozen more became consecrated virgins. There were even families in which four or five siblings entered religious service.

After the implementation of religious policy in 1985, Zhangjialou Sacred Heart of Jesus Church was repaired and reopened. On 29 November 1995, parishioners celebrated the tenth anniversary of its restoration.

As the development and construction of Pudong continued, Zhangjialou Catholic Church was included in a relocation and rebuilding programme. There were already several religious sites around Yuanshen Road, and comprehensive redevelopment was planned on both sides of the road. In the winter of 1997, Yang Xiaoming (杨小明), then general manager of the Jinqiao Development Company, proposed the following: increasing numbers of “foreigners” were investing in the development zone, and many were Protestant or Catholic, but because there was no Catholic church in Jinqiao, they could not practise their religion nearby. Could a church be built within the development zone? This was a far-sighted idea. After repeated consultations and discussions with the Catholic Diocese of Shanghai, it was decided to move Zhangjialou Catholic Church to the Jinqiao Development Zone. Through the combined efforts of all parties over three years, a brand-new Catholic church rose beside Hongfeng Road in the development zone and became the seat of the Catholic deanery for Pudong New Area. Today, as you drive along busy Yanggao Road towards the Jinqiao overpass, you can see a tall cross-topped tower ahead on your right: the new Zhangjialou Catholic Church, built in the Romanesque style.

In 1993, Zhangjialou was subject to relocation. On 10 January 2000 [Wednesday, as printed], the parish celebrated its last Mass at the original site. The move took place in early June 2000, after which Zhangjialou Sacred Heart of Jesus Church was demolished. On 25 April 2002, the foundation stone of the relocated Sacred Heart of Jesus Church was laid in Biyun International Community. The newly built church, on a different site, stands at 151 Hongfeng Road, to the left of Middle Yanggao Road below the Jinqiao overpass. It was completed and reopened on 28 June 2003.

Following its relocation and reopening in 2003, Zhangjialou Sacred Heart of Jesus Church once again became the seat of the Pudong deanery. Its parish priest at that time was Father Gong Tiande (龚天德), who was also dean of Pudong New Area from January 2003 to May 2009. The original church had a floor area of 800 square metres, with 600 square metres of ancillary buildings. After relocation, the site occupied 3,037 square metres, equivalent to 4.56 mu. The present building has a floor area of 1,892 square metres and can accommodate more than 1,000 people. Since an English-language Mass was introduced on 19 June 2005, the number of foreign Catholics has grown steadily, from two or three hundred initially to more than 1,000 today, to the point that there is insufficient space in the church. More and more foreign Catholics have also become involved in the pastoral work of Zhangjialou parish. On 5 December 2009, the Pudong deanery was established again at Tangmuqiao. The church became a parish, with Father Zeng Hongqin (曾红勤) as parish priest from 11 December 2009 to the present.

Much has changed over the years. The old church beside Yuanshen Road has moved away, but the old camphor tree that weathered the years alongside it has been preserved intact and receives careful maintenance and management. Rising conspicuously above its surroundings, the graceful old tree stands especially tall in the residential garden. It has witnessed the changes of a century, embodies a cultural inheritance that is difficult to erase through modernisation, and safeguards many little-known stories of Zhangjialou Catholic Church.

Chinese text

提到张家楼天主堂，还得从我国近代科学的先驱徐光启说起。徐光启（1562~1633年），被称为中国早期天主教三大柱石之一，自皈依天主教后，对传播天主教和学习“西学”起到了较大作用。明万历三十五年（1607年），有一位祖籍河北省名叫张景乔的信徒随徐光启回沪，后在浦东张家楼（原来无此地名）筑楼而居，张家楼始而得名，并成为浦东最早有天主教徒的乡村。乾隆三十九年（1744年），张氏后人张宇敬在张家楼建造小堂一所，取名寻获十安架堂。道光二十三年（1843年），因小堂不能容纳日益增多的信徒，便进行翻修扩建，教堂奉圣盎博罗削为主保，故改名为圣盎博罗削堂。其后的近百年中，教堂又经过多次扩建，内部装修成西方宫殿式，堂呈十字形，并建筑圆顶钟楼，成为浦东沿浦江一带规模较大可容近千人的天主教堂，并改名为耶稣圣心堂。其堂名一直沿用至今，但广大教徒仍习惯地称其为张家楼天主堂。1933年，张家楼总本堂区成立，耶稣圣心堂成为总本堂神父的驻地。

张家楼耶稣圣心堂原址在浦东张家楼村东北首（现源深路西侧通贸大厦北端）。信奉天主教的河北张家口人张景乔率三子从浦东张家湾迁居吴家堰西北隅，景乔公九世孙张若谷于耶稣圣心堂之建成贡献巨大，其口碑族人流传至今。1932年，浦东另设张家楼总铎区，教堂曾成为总铎座堂，第一任总铎为中国神父阮宗威。在张家楼耶稣圣心堂建成后的不到百年中，有众多男女奉献事主。共有十八位晋铎，二十九修女，另有贞女数十位，其中不乏一家同胞四至五人献身事主者。

1985年落实宗教政策后，张家楼耶稣圣心堂重新修缮得到恢复开放。1995年11月29日堂区教友举行圣心堂恢复10周年堂庆。

随着浦东开发建设的不断深入，考虑到源深路一带已有多座宗教场所，道路两边将进行整体开发，张家楼天主堂遂被列入迁建计划。1997年冬，时任金桥开发公司总经理的杨小明提议，现在来开发区内投资的“老外”越来越多，其中不少是信奉基督教和天主教的信徒，但由于金桥地区没有天主教堂，无法就近过宗教生活，能否想法在开发区内建筑一所教堂。这个想法甚富远见。经与天主教上海教区多次协商研究，决定把张家楼天主堂迁往金桥开发区。在各方通力协作下，经过3年努力，一座崭新的天主教堂矗立在金桥开发区红枫路边，并成为浦东新区天主教总铎区驻地。今天，当你驾车沿着车水马龙的杨高路开往金桥立交桥时，在你的右前方就会看到高高的十字架塔顶，看到一座罗马式建筑风格的新张家楼天主堂。

1993年，张家楼被动迁，2000年1月10日【周三】本堂在原来的地方做最后一次弥撒，2000年6月上旬搬迁，张家楼耶稣圣心堂随之拆平；2002年4月25日迁建的耶稣圣心堂在碧云国际社区奠基；易地新建的教堂位于金桥立交桥下杨高中路左边红枫路151号，2003年6月28日落成复堂。

2003年教堂迁建恢复后，张家楼耶稣圣心堂再次成为浦东总铎座堂。时任本堂龚天德神父（亦系浦东新区总铎2003年1月-2009年5月）。张家楼耶稣圣心堂原建筑面积800平方米，附属建筑面积为600平方米，动迁后，现有土地面积3037平方米，合4.56亩。现建筑面积1892平方米，可容纳1000多人。自从2005年6月19日开设英文弥撒以来，国外教友从起先的两三百，到今天的1000余人，呈现不断增加的趋势，以至于堂里的地方不够用。而且，越来越多的外国教友也参与到张家楼堂区牧灵工作中来。2009年12月5日浦东总铎区再次设立于唐墓桥。教堂成为一个堂区，时任本堂曾红勤神父（2009年12月11日-至今）。

岁月沧桑。源深路边的老堂迁走了，但作为与教堂同沐风雨的老香樟却完整地保留下来，并得到周到精心的养护和管理。鹤立鸡群的老香樟，在小区花园中丰姿绰约，显得尤为挺拔；它见证着世纪的变迁，体现着现代化建设中难以消失的文化传承，珍藏着张家楼天主堂一段段鲜为人知的往事。
