About this place
This site is the Gwangan community of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, listed in the Guide to the Catholic Church in Korea as a women’s religious community in the Diocese of Busan. It is a house of consecrated life at the registered address in Gwangan-dong, rather than a parish church or a general-purpose retreat facility.
In its official materials, the congregation describes its life as consecrated service for the glory of the Triune God and the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, expressed through a variety of apostolates. The Gwangan community is one of the congregation’s local presences in Busan, where common prayer and religious life sustain its service in the Church. The public directory, however, does not specify the house’s particular apostolate or visitor function, so it should not be assumed to operate like a parish church open for general visits.
