★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The church building is an old big house which built since Dutch colonial. In the beginning was used as major China residential. Later on was sold and use as Catholic church. It is still well preserved in good condition with Chinese ornaments and still have daily or weekly masses.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice catholic church. A place to worship on Jesus Christ in the Chinatown area. This church is one of the iconic landmark in this area. When most of the Catholic Church has its westernized style of architectural landscape, this place is quite different. It addopt the traditional Chinese culture on its architectural style in terms of the details, outside and inside the building. The other uniqneess is praying time in Chinese language every Monday afternoon on 4PM. I love how this religion has been complied into local culture. It's truly called respectfully

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a very unique building with the acculturation between oriental style with Roman Catholics. It represents how religion could blend well in many aspects. The building is actually not quite big, it's in the same complex with a school. The ambiance is really calming, the best time to visit is on afternoon.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the most unique Catholic Church at The Archdiocese of Jakarta because of the Chinese acculturation, even the building itself looks like a temple. This place is also well known as Toasebio because it is situated at a road with former name Jalan Toasebio and close to Toasebio temple. In this place, you can pray peacefully. You can also pray at the Marian Hill, made to be a dedication to Marian Apparition at Fatima. The accessed to this place is a little bit hard because the street is quite narrow and one way (from Glodok). There are no direct public transportation (angkot and Transjakarta) to this place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When we walk around Glodok Chinatown area, we will easily find a lot of Buddhist and Confucious temples. One of the less expected religious building here is church. But here, we will find Church of Santa Maria de Fatima, a Catholic church that is located in a housing area, so that we could see that the church exterior is just like a house.
At the beginning, there were a school named Ricci School, and dormitory named Ricci Youth Center to the Chinese wanderer that lived around Glodok. There was also English, Germany, and Mandarin course named Ricci Evening School.
In 1953, a wealthy Chinese man bought a piece of land there, and built a complex of a school and church.The following year, the land and building was fully owned by the church.The first mass was held, conducted by four priests with 16 members. Week by week, the amount of member was rising. Even until now, there are more and more member of this church. Not only church member, a lot of tourists also come here to see and learn more about this historical church.
Nowadays, they serve a daily mass every day at 6AM; Saturday mass at 6PM; and Sunday mass at 6AM, 7.30AM, 9.30AM, 6PM. They also serve a mass in Mandarin every Sunday at 4.15PM where most of the member is elderly.
Outside the church is a wide space area where there is my favorite place which is a small and colorful Saint Mary's cave. It is not the real cave, but similar. In here, we could stop for a while, find the serenity, and start to pray to our Holy mother of God ??
"Does this church only serve a mass or activity to Chinese?" Well, the answer is definitely no. Everyone from another culture is welcomed here. Since they aslo serve a mass in Mandarin, so that those who can do a mass in Mandarin are very welcomed here ?
