Sisters of Divine Providence

About this place

This place is listed in the official Catholic directory as the Daejeon community of the Sisters of Divine Providence, a women's institute of consecrated life. It is a religious community located within the Diocese of Daejeon and is different in character from an ordinary parish or mission station. It is therefore more accurate to understand the site first as a local community in which the Sisters of Divine Providence live their religious and communal life, rather than as a parish church with territorial responsibility for all Catholics in the surrounding area.

The official Catholic directory records September 29, 1851, as the foundation date of the Sisters of Divine Providence and August 19, 1966, as the date of their arrival in Korea; it also lists the Korean St. Joseph Province and several local communities. The Daejeon community is one of these communities in Korea. The public directory clearly confirms its official name and existence, but it does not establish whether the site has a separate parish function or a chapel regularly open to the general public.
