About this place
Assisi Retreat House is a retreat and prayer center in Paltan-myeon, Hwaseong, within the Diocese of Suwon, and is entrusted to the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Assisi. The Catholic Directory in Korea and the national guide to retreat houses published by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference identify it as a retreat facility connected with the spirituality of the congregation.
The Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Assisi emphasize prayer, poverty, and love of neighbor in the spirit of Saint Francis and have engaged in social welfare, parish, and retreat apostolates. In that context, the retreat house can be understood as a place where individuals and communities withdraw from daily routines for prayer and reflection. Public sources do not establish a detailed opening history for this specific facility, so its present function and religious identity are emphasized here. It is therefore best understood not as ordinary accommodation but as a space for the congregation’s ministry of prayer and hospitality. Its central purpose is to help retreatants reconsider their lives in the light of the Gospel through silence, communal prayer, and spiritual reflection.
