Father Giuseppe Burghignoli bulit Holy Family chuch on 1866

The church was abndoned around 1990.

===============================================

1866年,穆神父(Fr. Giuseppe Burghignoli 1833-1892)由大埔轉到赤徑展開傳教事業。其後,建立了一間宿舍及一間小聖堂,命名為聖家小堂。1959年,聖家小堂約有教徒248位。直至1960年代,村內家家戶戶張貼的門聯,內容均與天主教教義和聖經章節有關。但是,到了1990年代,整條赤徑村的村民遷離,村內只餘下三個長期居留的村民,小堂亦隨著沒落停用以致荒廢。

 

在日本佔據香港期間,抗日東江縱隊屬下港九獨立大隊以赤徑及大浪灣的天主教堂為常駐地。
