About this place
This place is the Chuncheon community of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Assisi. The Directory of the Catholic Church in Korea lists it as a women’s institute of consecrated life serving within the Diocese of Chuncheon. The congregation’s international directory likewise identifies the Kimhwa community in Cheorwon as a distinct house, located at the same address as Kimhwa Parish and therefore closely connected with the life of the local Church.
The congregation’s official international directory describes the Kimhwa community’s work as parish pastoral activity and after-school assistance for children and young people. The site is therefore best understood not as a public parish church or retreat center, but as a religious community where the sisters live a common life of prayer while taking part in parish ministry and care for children and youth. Its central meaning lies in the way a Franciscan missionary vocation is lived through ordinary pastoral service in the local Church.
History & origins
The Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Assisi were founded in Assisi in 1702, and their community in Korea opened in 1980. According to the congregation’s international official directory, the Province of the Korean Martyrs, which includes Korea and other Asian missions, was erected as a province in 2001, while a number of local communities in Korea were established over time.
The Kimhwa community in Cheorwon is recorded in the congregation’s official directory as having opened in 1989. The same source lists the present Kimhwa house in Seo-myeon, Cheorwon County, and identifies its activities as parish ministry and after-school assistance for children and young people. This places the Kimhwa community within the congregation’s broader Korean history of establishing houses close to local parishes and works of social care.
The publicly available official sources do not provide a detailed chronology of relocations or building changes in the Kimhwa community after 1989. Accordingly, the history of this place is limited to the verified opening date and pastoral character, without expanding the general history of the congregation into unsupported details about the local house.
