Lucas Liu Hsien-tang (Chinese: 劉獻堂; born 21 December 1928) is a Chinese-born prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the Bishop of the Diocese of Hsinchu in Taiwan from 1983 to 2004.[1]
Lucas Liu was born on 21 December 1928 in Tung Shung Tan, Xian (present-day Hebei Province, China).[2] He was ordained a priest on 30 November 1956.[2]
On 24 October 1980, Liu was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Hsinchu, and he received episcopal consecration on 1 January 1981, with Bishop Peter Tou Pao-Zin as principal consecrator.[2] He succeeded Bishop Tou as Bishop of Hsinchu on 29 June 1983.[1]
Liu led the Catholic community of Hsinchu, a diocese in northwestern Taiwan that is part of the ecclesiastical province of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Taipei.
On 4 December 2004, his resignation was accepted by Pope John Paul II upon reaching the customary retirement age for bishops, making him Bishop Emeritus of Hsinchu.[3]
During his tenure, Liu participated in episcopal ministry in Taiwan and co-consecrated John Baptist Lee Keh-mien, later Bishop of Hsinchu.[1]
