History & origins

According to the Catholic Church Directory in Korea, Yangju Olivetan Benedictine Monastery was established on April 10, 2016. This is the local foundation date of the Yangju monastic community and should be distinguished from the broader history of Benedictine or Olivetan monasticism.

The community has continued its monastic life at the present site in Gwangjeok-myeon, where a retreat and prayer house is also operated under its responsibility. Public official sources do not provide a detailed chronology of local construction or relocation, so the secure history centers on the 2016 foundation and the monastery's present retreat ministry.
