Ansan Community: SVD Galilea Migrant Center

The SVD Korea Region has a center for migrant workers, namely: SVD GALILEA MIGRANT CENTER.
This center began by a Filipino confrere some years ago to help the need of so many Filipinos and Filipinas who come to Korea for work or have multicultural family.
In its progress as a center, this center later widely opened for migrant workers from other countries who need its help.
At present, in the Region, four confreres are fully involved in this ministry. They are: Fr. PIATU Kristianus, Fr. PEREZ Jun, Fr. NAIKOFI Guido and Br. BAEK Michael.

The center provides some help for the migrant workers from the preparation into their job and especially to adjust the life and culture in Korea.
Confreres do not just work in the office, but they are actively make an outreach, to seek those who need help, or the workers who need their help can contact them and ask for their guidance and help.
Recently many migrant workers come to the center, for multi purpose reason but normally, they come
for mass and some consultation.

As the Region put its concern on the pastoral for migrant ministry. This center is primarily belong to SVD but it also open to colabarate with the local church and the local government, whose aid and support needed by the center to develop it's better service for the migrant workers.
Nationalities of migrant workers in big number who come to seek the help from the GALILEA-ANSAN FILIPINO COMMUNITY are: The Filipinos, East Timorese, Thai, Africans and Indonesians.
