Little Sisters of the Poor

About this place

This location is listed by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea as the “formation house” of the Contemplative Missionary Fraternity. It is distinct from the congregation’s Busan branch in Gaya-dong, with a different address and a different subsidiary designation; the directory specifically classifies the Dongnae location as a formation house. It is therefore more accurate to understand it not as an ordinary parish or merely another branch residence, but as a facility with a formation-related role within the same religious community.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference directory gives the congregation’s English name as Contemplative Missionary Fraternity and identifies it as a women’s religious community with its Korean headquarters elsewhere. The key point about the Dongnae house is that it belongs to the congregation’s communal life and formation structure. Public sources do not describe the detailed program or operation of the house, so those details should not be supplied by inference. Visitors should first understand the site as a religious formation community rather than as a public parish facility.
