Mirinae Catholic Holy Trinity Religious Order

About this place

This place in Jeongnam-myeon, Hwaseong, is identified as the Gwanhang-ri community of the Clerical Society of the Most Holy Trinity of Mirinae. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea directory lists at this branch not only a local superior but also responsibilities for the theological institute, the novitiate, and postulants. This indicates a role that goes beyond ordinary residence and is closely connected with vocational discernment and the religious and clerical formation of members. It differs in character from a parish or public retreat facility and should be understood primarily as a community of religious life and formation.

The Clerical Society of the Most Holy Trinity of Mirinae is a Korean institute that combines contemplation with apostolic activity and has developed priestly formation as an important part of its mission. The Gwanhang-ri branch is one place where this identity is embodied in an actual formation setting. The presence of responsibilities linked with postulancy, novitiate, and theological study shows that it is a place where those beginning and deepening religious life carry on prayer, community life, study, and discernment together.
