The Father Saturnino Urios University (FSUU) is a Roman Catholic private university run by the Diocese of Butuan in Butuan City, Philippines. It has two campuses: the main campus in the heart of Butuan City (which houses the academic units and offices) and the new Morelos campus at Brgy. Libertad (which houses the high school and grade school). FSUU is the only and first home-grown university in the Caraga region. In 1901, the Butuan Parochial School was founded by Fr. Saturnino Urios, S.J. and opened its doors to welcome the first pupils. A low building made of bricks adjacent to the old church was built to house the first students. When the state started asserting its influence and control over public and private schools, the late Fr. Jose Buxo, S.J. was believed responsible for the government recognition of the parochial school. In 1935, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC - Dutch Congregation) took over the missionary work from the Jesuits. In 1939, the high school was opened. In 1990, two concrete buildings were constructed in the main campus.
