Tutzing Benedictine Sisters Convent Daegu

About this place

Although the package names this place as the “Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing, Daegu Priory,” the directory of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea identifies the community at this address more specifically as the Busan branch of the Daegu Priory. It is located at the same address as Jwa-dong Catholic Church and is a local community of the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing living within the Diocese of Busan. It is therefore more accurate to distinguish this place from the Daegu priory itself and understand it as a Busan community belonging to the Daegu Priory.

The Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing are an international religious congregation that combines Benedictine monastic spirituality with a missionary vocation. The congregation's official materials emphasize that Benedictine spirituality permeates its missionary activity and present apostolates that include parish ministry, education, social welfare, and spiritual ministry. Publicly available sources, however, do not provide enough evidence to state the specific present assignment carried out by this Busan branch at Jwa-dong Parish, so no particular apostolate has been added. The essential identity of this place is that it is the Busan branch of the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing, Daegu Priory, within the Diocese of Busan.
