About this place
The Jisan-dong community of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a women’s religious community at 54 Jisan-ro, Dong-gu, Gwangju. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea records this address as the congregation’s Jisan-dong community within the Archdiocese of Gwangju.
According to the congregation’s official website, the Handmaids were founded in 1935 in Yeongcheon by Fr. Louis Deslandes and carry out apostolates including parish mission, social welfare, health care, early-childhood education, and overseas mission. These facts describe the congregation as a whole, not the foundation date of the Jisan-dong community.
This place is therefore not an ordinary territorial parish church, but a local religious community through which the congregation continues its common life and apostolate within the Archdiocese of Gwangju.
