Suwon Saint Vincent de Paul Sisters of Charity

About this place

This place is listed in the Catholic Church directory in Korea as the Incheon branch of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul of Suwon. The congregation’s official English name is “Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul of Suwon,” and this branch serves as a local base where its religious community lives and carries out its apostolate within the territory of the Diocese of Incheon. Unlike an ordinary parish church, a religious-house branch is primarily a place for the sisters’ common life, prayer, and the apostolic work entrusted to them.

The Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul of Suwon continue a Vincentian charism of service to people who are poor, sick, or otherwise in need. The congregation’s official history describes the development of apostolates in Korea in areas such as health care, education, parish service, and social welfare. The Incheon branch belongs within that broader tradition, but available official public sources do not establish when this specific branch was opened or how it moved to its present location. This introduction is therefore limited to the branch’s verified current identity and the congregation’s officially stated charism.
