About this place
The Suyu-dong community of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ is a women's religious formation house at 90 Insubong-ro 79-gil in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul. The Catholic Church Directory specifically registers this location as the congregation's novitiate/formation house rather than as a parish or ordinary local branch.
Following the charism of St. Maria De Mattias, the sisters contemplate the saving love of God revealed in the Blood of Christ and seek to communicate that love in the world. Their mission gives special attention to people who are poor, oppressed, or marginalized through evangelization, education, and social service, and the Suyu house serves as a place of formation for women preparing to live that religious vocation.
History & origins
The Adorers of the Blood of Christ were founded by St. Maria De Mattias at Acuto, Italy, on March 4, 1834. She understood the Blood of Christ as the revelation of God's redeeming love for every person and developed a religious mission uniting prayer, education, evangelization, and service to people in poverty.
The congregation entered Korea on October 1, 1977, and its Korean regional house is now in Changwon. A separate formation house operates in Suyu-dong, Seoul, but its exact local opening date is not stated in the public official sources reviewed. The dates 1834 and 1977 therefore refer to the congregation's foundation and Korean arrival, not to the establishment of the Suyu formation house.
