Korean Martyrs Blessed Sisters

About this place

This place in Jeomdong-myeon, Yeoju, is identified as the Suwon Provincial House of the Sisters of the Blessed Korean Martyrs. Both the congregation’s official information and the Catholic Directory of Korea give this address as the central address of the Suwon Province. It is therefore not an ordinary territorial parish but a provincial house that serves as a focal point for the religious life and shared mission of communities belonging to the Suwon Province.

The Sisters of the Blessed Korean Martyrs seek to live a consecrated life rooted in the spirit of the Korean martyrs and carry out various apostolates in the Church through communal prayer and their distinctive spirituality. The Suwon Provincial House is a place where that identity is expressed at the level of the province. For visitors, it is important to distinguish it from a parish church serving a defined territory: it is principally a religious community supporting the common life and provincial communion of the sisters.
