About this place
The Wonju community of the Sisters of the Blessed Korean Martyrs is a women's religious community serving within the Diocese of Wonju and belonging organizationally to the congregation's Suwon Province. The Guide to the Catholic Church in Korea lists it as the “Suwon Province: Wonju Community,” confirming its presence within the Catholic life of the Wonju area. Visitors should understand the place not as an independent parish or an ordinary chapel, but primarily as a local religious house where sisters live in community, pray, and carry out the apostolic work entrusted to them by the Church.
The congregation identifies the faith and martyrdom of the Korean martyrs as a foundation of its vocation and seeks to proclaim the Gospel of Christ in fraternal love. Its spirituality is centered on union with God through the Cross and the Eucharist, with the Korean martyrs honored as models and patrons of faith. The Wonju community is therefore best understood as a community sent into the local Church within this wider religious identity, offering the faithful of the region a concrete witness to religious life and to the spirituality of the Korean martyrs expressed through apostolic service.
