Our Lady of China

Tainan CityTaiwan

StayFrom 1 to 7 nights

Located in Anxiliao, in the countryside of Tainan, Taiwan, Our Lady of China is a unique place where the Catholic faith meets Taiwanese culture. Its Holy Family church, with its curved roofs and architecture inspired by Chinese tradition, is the most beautiful expression of this! Since 1988, the Brothers of Saint John have lived here in service to the local population and welcome those who wish to step back for a few days.

Alone or in a group, come and enjoy a peaceful spiritual retreat among the rice fields, with the possibility of personal accompaniment by a priest according to his availability.
