About this place
This location is the Jangchung-dong Seoul branch of the Mirinae Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, at 24 Dongho-ro 30-gil in Jung-gu, Seoul. The Archdiocese of Seoul listing in the Catholic Church Directory in Korea confirms the branch under this name and address.
The congregation is a contemplative-active community that honors the Immaculate Heart of Mary and seeks a life of unity in the Holy Trinity. The Jangchung-dong location is not a territorial parish but a Seoul branch where the religious community continues its common life and apostolate.
History & origins
The Jangchung-dong community of the Mirinae Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary began in 1979, when the congregation established its own branch in Jangchung-dong, Seoul, before the institute received its later canonical recognition. The Catholic encyclopedia records that branches were established that year in both Jung-dong, Daegu, and Jangchung-dong, Seoul.
The congregation subsequently received approval of its constitutions from the Holy See on July 11, 1983, and diocesan approval from the Bishop of Suwon on February 2, 1984. The Jangchung-dong branch's 1979 beginning and the congregation's 1984 canonical establishment are therefore distinct stages in its history.
