About this place
The Gwangju community of the Sisters of Divine Providence is a women’s religious community at 14 Gwangsan-ro 68beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea records it as the congregation’s Gwangju community.
The institute itself was founded on September 29, 1851 and entered Korea on August 19, 1966; these dates refer to the congregation and its Korean mission, not to the foundation date of the Gwangju community. Wondong Catholic Church is located at the same address, so this target is best understood as a religious community within the local Catholic pastoral setting rather than as a separate territorial parish church.
Its defining identity is therefore the local presence of the Sisters of Divine Providence within the Archdiocese of Gwangju.
