About this place
This place is the Ajung Community of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, serving alongside Ajung Parish in the Catholic Diocese of Jeonju. The Korean Catholic Directory lists the Ajung community at Musamji 5-gil in Jeonju as a religious community of the diocese, and the diocesan page for Ajung Parish also identifies the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as the sisters serving the parish. It is therefore a place of religious life and consecrated service closely connected with parish ministry.
The congregation's official materials state that it was founded in 1935 by Fr. Louis Deslandes and that its apostolic works include parish mission, social welfare, health care, early-childhood education, and overseas mission. The precise scope of the Ajung community's work is not specified in the public sources used here, but the place is significant as a religious community living consecrated life and the apostolate of the Church alongside a parish of the Diocese of Jeonju.
