About this place
Mugeo Catholic Church is a parish of the Yaeum District in the Diocese of Busan, serving Catholics in the Mugeo and Sinbok area of Nam-gu, Ulsan. The directory of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea and diocesan parish information confirm its current address and affiliation and list St. Mark the Evangelist as its patron. In a residential area near the University of Ulsan, it is a local center for Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and lay associations.
Diocesan records show the community marking its own history through parish-day celebrations and a thanksgiving Mass for the 30th anniversary of foundation. The parish also appears in diocesan programs reflecting on the environment, life, and rural concerns from a perspective of faith. These records suggest a parish life that extends beyond liturgy and internal fellowship toward concern for society and the created world.
History & origins
Mugeo Parish was established on February 4, 1995, with St. Mark the Evangelist as its patron. It began as an independent parish community for local Catholics amid urban expansion in Nam-gu, Ulsan, and the growth of the Sinbok-Mugeo area, and it became one of the pastoral centers of the Diocese of Busan in Ulsan.
Diocesan records from 2012 show Mugeo Parish participating in faith formation that connected Farmers’ Sunday with reflection on environmental issues. This indicates a pastoral concern extending beyond activities inside the church building, encouraging parishioners to consider questions of life and the environment from the perspective of faith.
In 2025, a thanksgiving Mass marked the 30th anniversary of the parish’s foundation. After a full generation since 1995, it was an important milestone in which the community looked back on its history and gave thanks. This trajectory illustrates how a parish founded amid local growth became firmly established as a faith community across generations.
