FJCU’s Culturally Representative Building - Saint Mary’s Grotto 2020

International Federation of Catholic Universities (FIUC)

FJCU has Chung Mei Auditorium, Immaculate Conception Chapel, Saint Mary’s Grotto, and Mausoleum of Cardinal Yu Pin. These buildings located around campus are of local cultural importance or have a religious meaning. All of these buildings are open to the public for free, where they can participate in events such as mass or festivals.
For those who are not affiliated with the university can rent some of the venues (e.g. Chung Mei Auditorium) for a rental fee by filling an application.

Saint Mary’s Grotto is a place on campus where one can go for spiritual healin and to feel at one with the divine. It is also a scenic location with religious and cultural elements. It was built in 1987 in imitation of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France. The coconut trees planted next to the grotto reflect the subtropical environment where the school is located, and the ferns create a simple and primitive scene.
