About this place

Franciscanum is a retreat and prayer house registered in the Archdiocese of Daegu and operated under the responsibility of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual as a place of formation and spirituality. Located near the friars’ community in Daegu, it serves Catholics and groups who wish to step away from daily routines for prayer and to learn about Scripture and Franciscan spirituality.

The Daegu diocesan bulletin records programs at Franciscanum such as courses in Franciscan spirituality and a Mass connected with a rite of transition. These records show that the facility has been used not simply for lodging but as a place where people study and share the spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi and the faith of the Church. The official Korean Catholic directory continues to classify Franciscanum as a retreat and prayer house of the Archdiocese of Daegu and identifies the Order of Friars Minor Conventual as the religious institute responsible for it.
