Mirinae Catholic Trinity Religious Order

About this place

This place in Icheon is identified in the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea directory as the Icheon community of the Clerical Society of the Most Holy Trinity of Mirinae. It is a separate local religious community, distinct from the institute’s motherhouse and other branches, where priests and brothers continue their religious life within the Diocese of Suwon. Even though the place name is displayed simply under the name of the religious institute, it is important first to understand that this particular address is the Icheon branch.

The Clerical Society of the Most Holy Trinity of Mirinae is a clerical religious institute founded in Korea. It has emphasized both contemplation—remaining in the Triune God—and apostolic activity that shares divine love with others. From its early period the institute placed importance on the formation of clergy and service to the Church, and it established communities in several regions to live out this spirituality. The Icheon branch is one local community carrying forward the history and mission of the wider institute; it is not classified as a parish or a public retreat house for the general faithful.
