About this place
Dalmaji Parish is a Catholic parish in the Dalmaji-gil area of Haeundae-gu, Busan, belonging to the Udong District of the Diocese of Busan. The diocese’s current parish directory identifies Dalmaji as an independent parish of the Udong District. It is the center of the local Catholic community for Catholics in Jung-dong and the Dalmaji area, where they celebrate Mass and the sacraments and continue catechesis, prayer, and activities in parish organizations.
A parish is not only a place where Catholics attend Sunday and weekday liturgies, but also a community setting in which people prepare for baptism, learn the faith, and share fellowship. Children and young people, adults, and older Catholics form relationships with the parish in the course of their own faith journeys and continue community life through various groups and works of service.
The present identity of Dalmaji Parish lies in its status as a parish with its own pastoral territory and community among the parishes of the Haeundae area. The detailed process of constructing its church is treated separately in the history section; here the essential point is its current role as a parish where Catholics in the Dalmaji living area continue liturgy and the sacraments, formation, and fellowship together.
History & origins
Dalmaji Parish was established on January 10, 2006, by dividing portions of the territories of Haeundae Parish and Holy Family Parish. The diocesan notice creating the new parish set out the areas under Dalmaji and the number of Catholics transferred, showing that parts of the two existing parishes were reorganized as a separate pastoral unit. The history of the Dalmaji community therefore begins with the creation of an independent parish for Catholics in the eastern part of the Haeundae living area.
In its early years, the parish adapted an existing building for use as a church. As the community became established, plans were developed for a new church that could more securely accommodate the parish’s liturgical, educational, and communal activities. According to diocesan records, a groundbreaking ceremony for the new church was held on November 28, 2020, and the plan called not only for a new building but also for the former church to be reused as a multipurpose hall, catechetical rooms, and a lounge.
After construction was completed, the new church was dedicated in 2024. By providing a separate new church while also reusing the existing building for formation and community activities, the project marked a transition from the parish’s earlier adapted liturgical space toward a more complete set of pastoral facilities. The combination of new construction and reuse of the older building is a distinctive feature of this stage of the parish’s development.
The sequence from the parish’s separation in 2006, through the groundbreaking for the new church in 2020, to its dedication in 2024 shows how Dalmaji gradually expanded its own spaces after beginning as an independent community. The central point in the available record is not the size of the construction itself, but the process by which a growing parish developed spaces capable of serving liturgy, formation, and fellowship together.
