About this place
The Mok-dong community of the Daughters of Mary Immaculate (Marianist Sisters) is listed in the Catholic Church Directory in Korea as the congregation's motherhouse and novitiate. Located at 20 Mokdongjungangbon-ro 30ga-gil in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, it serves as a central base for the congregation's administration and formation in Korea.
The Marianist Sisters look to Mary as a model of discipleship and emphasize building communities of faith, education and pastoral ministry, social justice, and service to the poor. The motherhouse and novitiate in Mok-dong therefore has a distinctive role as a Korean center where Marianist spirituality and religious formation come together.
History & origins
The Daughters of Mary Immaculate were founded in Agen, France, on May 25, 1816, through the collaboration of Blessed Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon and Blessed William Joseph Chaminade. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea records May 17, 1979, as the congregation's date of arrival in Korea.
The present Mok-dong address is listed as the motherhouse and novitiate. Public official sources reviewed for this entry did not establish the exact date when the Korean community moved to or opened the present Mok-dong house, so the chronology is limited to the verified foundation of the congregation, its arrival in Korea, and the site's current motherhouse and novitiate status.
