About this place
The Gapyeong branch of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is registered in the official Catholic directory as a religious community belonging to the Diocese of Chuncheon. Distinct from a parish, it is a local house of a women's religious institute where the congregation's community life, prayer, and apostolic vocation are continued within the region.
The Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus were founded in 1935 by Fr. Louis Deslandes and state that their purpose is to pray and work for the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the world. The congregation serves in parish mission, social welfare, health care, early-childhood education, overseas mission, biblical ministry, retreats, and other fields. Public official sources do not specify which of these apostolates is assigned to the present Gapyeong branch, so it is most accurate to understand this location primarily as a local religious community embodying the congregation's spirituality and common life.
