About this place
The House of Meditation is a retreat and prayer facility of the Archdiocese of Gwangju on Uchi-ro in Buk-gu, Gwangju, entrusted to the Congregation of the Passion of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea identifies the same address as the "Gwangju monastery / House of Meditation" and names the Passionists as the responsible religious institute.
It is not a parish church, but a spiritual place intended for prayer, reflection, and retreat. The Archdiocese of Gwangju's youth ministry has also used the House of Meditation for faith-renewal programs, showing its practical role as a retreat and formation venue within the local Church.
The essential identity of the site is therefore that of a retreat and prayer house connected with the Passionist religious community. Rather than focusing on changeable schedules or personnel, it is best understood through its continuing role as a spiritual retreat facility operated by the congregation.
