Order of the Eternal Help of the Blessed Virgin Mary

About this place

The Jeju community of the Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a women’s religious community officially registered within the Diocese of Jeju. The diocese places the community at Gwangyang Good Shepherd Parish, while the Catholic Church directory identifies it specifically as the Jeju branch. This location is therefore best understood not as an independent parish or a church intended primarily for general visitors, but as a religious house where sisters live in community and carry out apostolic service within the local Church.

The congregation describes the proclamation of the Gospel to the Korean people and to all humanity as central to its founding purpose, and defines its charism as proclaiming the Gospel by participating in the mystery of the Incarnation of the Word. Prayer, life together in one heart and mind, and an apostolic desire to become “all things to all people” are joined in ministries that include parish work, biblical apostolate, social pastoral service, and overseas mission. The Jeju branch belongs within this wider identity, but official public sources do not detail its particular local assignments, so no specific ministry has been added without evidence.
