Sea Star Retreat Center

About this place

Bada-ui Byeol Retreat House is a Catholic retreat facility on Deokjeokdo Island in Ongjin County, within the pastoral territory of the Diocese of Incheon. It is listed by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea in its national guide to retreat and prayer houses and is located in the same general area as the Deokjeokdo quasi-parish church. In the island setting, it can be understood as a place set apart for prayer, silence, and reflection away from the routines of daily life.

Its primary identity is not that of a tourist facility but of a church-related place prepared for retreat and prayer. The public directory does not describe its detailed programs or operating patterns, so particular retreat formats should not be assumed. What can be stated with confidence is that it provides a setting in which individuals or groups may step away from ordinary activity and spend time in faith and prayer. Current operation and programs are best checked separately before a visit.
