Korean Martyr Blessed Palma Sisters

About this place

The Incheon community of the Sisters of the Palma Blessed Korean Martyrs is a women's religious community serving within the Diocese of Incheon and located on the Ganghwa campus of Incheon Catholic University. The official directory of the Catholic Church in Korea registers it as the “Incheon Community of the Sisters of the Palma Blessed Korean Martyrs.” It is not a parish or an ordinary public church, but a local religious house where sisters continue their common life and prayer; this distinction is important for understanding the character of the place.

The Sisters of the Palma Blessed Korean Martyrs arose from the spiritual tradition of the communities founded by Father Andrew Bang Yu-ryong and place the faith and self-offering of the Korean martyrs at the heart of their religious life. The Ganghwa community belongs to that same religious identity. Public official sources, however, do not describe the specific apostolate or external programs of this local house in detail, so it is best understood as a residence of a religious community rather than as an ordinary parish or retreat facility open in the same way to the public.
