Yongsomak Catholic Church Retreat Center

About this place

용소막 성당 피정의집 is a facility officially registered by the Diocese of Wonju as a “retreat/prayer house,” a separate space for prayer and retreat located at the same site as Yongsomak Church. The Catholic Church directory in Korea identifies the Sisters of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the religious institute responsible for the facility. The historic parish church itself and this retreat house should therefore be understood as distinct facilities with different functions within the same church site.

Whereas the parish church centers on Mass, the sacraments, and the liturgical life of the parish community, the retreat house is a place intended for individuals or groups to step away from ordinary routines and concentrate on prayer and reflection on faith. The public directory does not provide details of specific programs, operating schedules, or a founding year, so visitor information should remain within the verified description of the place as a retreat/prayer house and the identity of the religious institute responsible for it.
