About this place
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary community in Mia-dong, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, is listed in the Catholic Church Directory in Korea as the “Seoul Emmaus Community.” Its current address is 43 Dobong-ro 30-gil, and it is identified separately from the congregation's other communities in Seoul.
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary are an international missionary congregation within the Franciscan family, emphasizing universal mission and a particular concern for the poor and marginalized. The Emmaus Community is a local religious community in Seoul where the congregation's prayer, common life, and missionary service are lived.
History & origins
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary were founded by Mary of the Passion on January 6, 1877, and the Catholic Church Directory in Korea records June 26, 1958, as the congregation's date of arrival in Korea. Several religious communities later developed in Korea, and the current directory separately lists the “Seoul Emmaus Community” in Mia-dong.
The exact foundation or relocation date of the Emmaus Community itself was not established in the official public sources reviewed. The history of the congregation and the present existence of the community are therefore kept distinct, and the 1958 Korean arrival date is not treated as the foundation date of the Mia-dong community.
