A documented patronage
The Episcopal Conference of Korea records Skills, the Assumption of Mary, as patronage of Munjeong. The document also confirms the diocese, the direction and the founding date.
There is no Marian apparition linked to the site. This page documents a parish advocation and its meaning, without attributing it to the rank of sanctuary.
A parish since 2001
The community was erected August 26, 2001. The episcopal directory documents the collaboration of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus.
Charity and Assumption illuminate each other: waiting for future glory requires already to recognize the dignity of those who need help.
What the Assumption confesses
The Church teaches that Mary, who finished the course of her earthly life, was brought in body and soul to the glory of heaven. Everything comes from the Paschal victory of Jesus Christ.
Mary is not a parallel divinity. His glorification anticipates the promised resurrection to those who belong to Christ.
The whole person matters
The human body is not an object that can be used and discarded. It deserves respect for health, disease, disability, old age and death.
The Assumption encourages the fight against all exploitation and to accompany those who depend on care.
Charity that recognizes dignity
Helping does not mean reducing the other to their need. Charity listens, respects decisions and ensures that the person regains autonomy.
A parish can offer company, food, guidance and access to professional networks without turning service into exhibition.
Hope for the duel
Faith in the resurrection does not eliminate tears. It allows to accompany the loss without hastening the duel and without denying the pain.
Mary glorified supports those who fire a loved one and those who fear the disease.
August 15 in Korea
The Solemnity of the Assumption coincides with Gwangbokjeolon the day of national liberation. Pope Francis explained in Korea how both memories are illuminated.
The freedom received becomes true when it allows serving, protecting the vulnerable and building a just society.
A hope that transforms the present
To look at the sky does not turn from the earth. Mary sings to a God who raises the humble and remembers his mercy.
The community lives the Assumption when it visits older people, supports caregivers and defends the dignity of those who remain invisible.
Reconciliation of Korea
The glorification of Mary anticipates a humanity gathered in God. From Munjeong you can ask for separate families and those who work to overcome the division of the peninsula.
Peace needs perseverance, truth, justice and mercy.

To visit and pray
The fourth glorious mystery can be prayed for the sick, the caregivers and the deceased, and the fifth for the reconciliation of Korea. The hours should be confirmed directly before they come.
Munjeong is a parish dedicated to the Assumption, not a place of apparitions. The visit must respect the cult and the community.
Prayer to Our Lady of the Assumption of Munjeong
Mary, raised in body and soul to glory, keeps the parish of Munjeong and the families of Jeonju. It accompanies the sick and caregivers, comforts those who cry and teaches us a charity that respects dignity. Intercede for the freedom, reconciliation and peace of Korea, and keep our hope in the resurrection alive. Amen.
