About this place
The Gwangju community of the Divine Word Missionaries is a men's religious community in Bangnim-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea identifies it as the Gwangju community of the Divine Word Missionaries in the Archdiocese of Gwangju and gives the international name Divine Word Missionaries, abbreviated S.V.D.
Its essential identity is not that of an ordinary parish church, but of a religious community where members live and pray together. The national Catholic directory confirms the same address as the package as its current representative address, showing that the congregation maintains its Gwangju community here.
The site is therefore best understood not as a territorial parish, but as a base for religious community life and missionary service. Changeable information about current members is intentionally omitted.
