About this place
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary community in Cheonho-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, is listed in the Catholic Church Directory in Korea as the “Seoul St. Mary Magdalene Community.” Its current address is the fifth floor of 285 Gucheonmyeon-ro, and it is identified separately from the congregation's other communities in Seoul.
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary are an international missionary congregation in the Franciscan family, with an emphasis on universal mission and service especially to the poor and marginalized. The St. Mary Magdalene Community is a local community that carries this life of prayer, common life, and missionary service in eastern Seoul.
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 their arrival in Korea. The current directory lists the “Seoul St. Mary Magdalene Community” in Cheonho-dong as a separate community of the congregation.
The exact opening date of the St. Mary Magdalene Community or the date of its move to the present address was not established in the official public sources reviewed. The 1958 arrival of the congregation in Korea is therefore not presented as the foundation date of this community; the two levels of history are kept distinct.
