Holy Spirit Descent Sisters Congregation

About this place

The community of the Sisters Apostles of the Descent of the Holy Spirit in Jeomdong-myeon, Yeoju, is listed in the Catholic Church directory as the congregation’s Yeoju community within the Diocese of Suwon. It has a separate address and place identity from the congregation’s headquarters in Yangpyeong and should be understood first as a religious community where sisters live and carry out their apostolate, not as an ordinary parish. The official directory confirms the community’s affiliation, name, and the congregation’s English name.

The congregation draws its spirituality from Pentecost, emphasizing transformation by the Holy Spirit and apostolic mission, and seeks to embody the life of the early Church today. Public descriptions highlight praise and thanksgiving, service and sharing, and especially life alongside people who are marginalized. The Yeoju community is therefore best understood within this wider spirituality and mission of the congregation rather than as a parish church that primarily serves a territorial Catholic population.
