天主教會於1859年再度來臺開展福傳事業，1875年來到中部羅厝（今彰化縣埔心鄉羅厝村），1914年傳入臺中，在臺灣中部的傳教歷史已逾百年，留下許多珍貴的宗教文物，成為延續歷史與文化的最佳見證。1962至1965年舉行天主教全球教會的梵蒂岡第二屆大公會議（Second Vatican Council, 1962-1965），其精神在於更新教會，促進基督徒的合一，是教會百年來再次公開地自我反省評估、檢討、定位、更新與策劃自己在現代世界中的角色，影響及全世界的天主教徒。本研究以天主教會臺中教區第一總鐸區教堂文物為例，透過祭臺位置、彌撒儀式、教堂內部禮儀空間擺設、聖職人員祭披、聖事簿紀錄方式等面向之變化，呈現梵二所強調的合一與本土（地）化之內涵，並作為變革前後之見證。天主教對臺中地區的教育、醫療、社會弱勢服務貢獻極大，然而，由於以往教會對自身與臺灣社會互動的相關歷史缺乏有系統整理書寫，加上多數臺灣史研究者對天主教在臺歷史缺乏特別關注，以致教會歷史在臺灣史相關研究並未受到應有的重視。透過教會歷史文物的清點與詮釋，或許是重新補齊這一方闕漏歷史的可行方式之一。

The Catholic Church returned to Taiwan in 1859 to carry out missionary work once again. In 1875, it arrived in the central region at Luo Cuò (present-day Luocuo Village, Puxin Township, Changhua County). In 1914, it spread to Taichung. With over a century of missionary history in central Taiwan, the Catholic Church has left behind numerous precious religious artifacts, serving as the finest testament to the continuity of history and culture. The Second Vatican Council, held from 1962 to 1965, aimed at renewing the Church and promoting the unity of Christians. It is the Church publicly engaged in self-reflection, assessment, review, positioning, renewal and planning of its role in the modern world again in the past century, affecting Catholics all over the world. This study takes the artifacts of the Dean of lst Deanery of Taichung in the Taichung Diocese of the Catholic Church as an example. It examines changes in aspects such as the altar's position, Mass rituals, interior arrangement of ritual space within the church, sacrae vestes of clergy, and baptismal record-keeping methods. Through these changes, it illustrates the concepts of unity and localization emphasized by the Second Vatican Council and serves as evidence of the transformation before and after the Council. The Catholic Church has made significant contributions to education, healthcare, and social services in the Taichung area. However, due to the lack of systematically organized historical records on the interactions between the Church and Taiwanese society, coupled with limited attention from most Taiwanese historians towards the history of Catholicism on the island, the history of the Church has not received the proper attention in the context of Taiwanese historical research. Inventory and interpreting historical artifacts of the Church might offer a feasible approach to fill this historical gap.
