About this place
The Gwangju branch of the Daughters of St. Paul is a women's religious community in Ssangchon-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea identifies it as the Gwangju branch of the Daughters of St. Paul in the Archdiocese of Gwangju and gives the abbreviation F.S.P.
The congregation was founded on June 15, 1915 and entered Korea on December 13, 1960. The Gwangju branch is not an ordinary parish church, but a local religious community where the sisters' common life, prayer, and apostolic work are carried out.
The place is therefore best understood not as a territorial parish, but as the Gwangju religious community of the Daughters of St. Paul. Rather than changeable details about current personnel or individual assignments, the congregation's continuing religious and apostolic presence in the Korean Church is central to the meaning of the site.
