Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres

About this place

The Jeonju community of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres is listed in the Korean Catholic Directory of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea as “Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (Daegu Province: Jeonju Community).” The directory gives its representative address as 253-16 Sinpung-gil, Gimje, which matches the location in this package. The site can therefore be identified as a local community of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres belonging to the Daegu Province and serving within the Diocese of Jeonju.

The congregation’s official materials describe its mission as charity, its spirit as simplicity, humility, and boldness, and its spirituality as Christ-centered and Paschal. These elements provide the proper framework for understanding the common identity of the congregation to which the Jeonju community belongs. Official public sources, however, do not clearly identify the specific current apostolate of the Gimje community, so no particular educational, welfare, or parish ministry is asserted here. The place is best understood as a community of consecrated life living the congregation’s shared charism within the local Church.
