Minrak Catholic Church

About this place

민락 성당 is a parish of the Catholic Diocese of Busan in the Namcheon district, with the Holy Family as its patronal title. It is the local parish where Catholics in the Minlak area of Suyeong-gu, Busan, participate in Mass and the sacraments, receive catechesis, and sustain communal life. The current Catholic directory in Korea confirms its diocesan affiliation and patron. With the Holy Family as its patron, the parish also carries a symbolic emphasis on families and generations living the faith together.

A parish is the Church’s basic local pastoral community, gathering Catholics of an area for regular liturgy and sacramental life while fostering faith formation, fellowship, and service to neighbors. 민락 성당 fulfills this role within the residential area of Suyeong-gu. The exact date of its establishment, however, differs between the current directory and the Catholic Encyclopedia of Korea; its present identity can be stated securely, but its historical chronology should be treated cautiously until that discrepancy is resolved.
