Priests and nuns who have spent their entire lives serving God and their neighbors, leaving behind the riches and glory of the world!

However, as time passes, even they grow old and eventually step down from active ministry. So, where do clergy members live after retirement, and how do they cover their living expenses and medical costs?

Starting from the simple question, "Do priests and nuns receive the National Pension like ordinary people?", we delve into the detailed realities of the retirement lives and welfare systems of Korean Catholic clergy.

Clergy and the National Pension: The administrative and institutional structure where dioceses and religious orders are registered as 'special workplaces' and pay pension contributions as employees.

The Life of Senior Priests (Retired Priests): The residence for senior priests where they live after the age of 70, and the system of providing monthly living and medical expense support through the Diocesan Priests' Mutual Aid Society.

The Life of a Sister Who Has Vowed Poverty: A system in which religious sisters without personal property return all income to the community and live together from cradle to grave within the welfare of the religious order.

Practical Challenges for the Korean Catholic Church: Differences from other religions, financial disparities between dioceses and religious orders, and the concerns facing the clergy in an era of low birth rates and an aging population.
