Conversion from regular hospital to welfare hospital
We surveyed the local community to start a hospital for those in need; we found that many of our neighbors lived in poverty and illness without medical care.

Foundation of the Little Servants of the Holy Family
The Little Servants of the Holy Family was founded on Dec 25th of 1943 by a member the Foreign Missionary of
Paris,
Father Pierre Singer (1910-1992), becoming the first local Catholic order in Seoul.
At the time of foundation, Korea was deeply under the influence of the Second Great War; Father Singer
witnessed
numerous orphans, injured soldiers, and the elderly with whom nobody to provide care. Father Singer
established the
order to give care to the poor. Members of the Little Servants of the Holy Family are dispatched to the
poor, and we
perform the mission of our Lord through compassion.
