About this place
The Catholic Women’s Education Center is listed in the Catholic Church directory of Korea as a retreat and prayer center belonging to the Archdiocese of Daegu. As its name indicates, it serves the faith formation and spiritual growth of Catholic women and provides a setting for archdiocesan education, gatherings, retreats, and prayer programs.
The center is now located within the Archdiocesan Education Center complex. Unlike a parish, it does not exercise territorial pastoral jurisdiction; its defining role is that of an educational and spiritual institution supporting Catholic women and related apostolates across the archdiocese.
History & origins
The Catholic Women’s Education Center was established in Daegu in 1981 with assistance from the German Catholic Women’s Association. According to a homily by the Archbishop of Daegu, the center was originally located in Bongdeok-dong below Apsan rather than at its present site, and various educational programs for women were conducted there from its early years.
The center later moved to Building D of the Archdiocesan Education Center and continued its work. In 2021, a Mass of thanksgiving marked its 40th anniversary, accompanied by an exhibition of historical materials and reflection on the role of Catholic women in family and Church life. This history shows that the center is not a temporary facility but an institution that has accumulated decades of experience in women’s apostolate and faith formation within the archdiocese.
