About this place
The Paju community of the Order of Friars Minor is a men's religious community at 48-75 Cheongsong-ro 432beon-gil in Papyeong-myeon, Paju. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea records the community as established on December 10, 2020, within the Diocese of Uijeongbu.
Following St. Francis of Assisi, the Friars Minor seek a life of Gospel poverty, fraternity, prayer, and service. The Paju house is not a territorial parish but a religious community where friars live together and undertake ministries including spiritual assistance to the Secular Franciscan Order and other services within the province.
History & origins
The Order of Friars Minor began in the early thirteenth century when St. Francis of Assisi embraced a Gospel life of poverty and fraternity. The Korean Province continues that tradition through religious life, formation, and Franciscan spiritual ministries.
The Paju community itself is recent. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea records its establishment on December 10, 2020. From its house in Papyeong-myeon, the friars continue community life and serve the local Church and their province, including spiritual assistance to the Uijeongbu district of the Secular Franciscan Order.
