About this place
Cheongna 3-dong Catholic Church is a parish of the West Sea district in the Diocese of Incheon and serves the whole of Cheongna 3-dong. Its official parish introduction identifies Saint John Paul II as its patron. Through Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and small-community activities, it provides the local Catholic community with a stable center for parish life.
The present church complex includes not only the main worship space but also catechetical rooms, multipurpose spaces, and facilities needed for pastoral and community life. Because the parish arose in a relatively young residential area of a new city, it has an important role in bringing newly arriving families and generations into a shared Catholic community. It is also a clear example of a community that separated as Cheongna expanded and then established itself with its own permanent church.
History & origins
As Cheongna International City developed and its residential population grew, the community of Cheongna Parish became larger. The Diocese of Incheon therefore established Cheongna 3-dong Parish on August 27, 2018, by separating it from Cheongna Parish. The new parish took Saint John Paul II as its patron and was given pastoral responsibility for the whole of Cheongna 3-dong. Because it initially had no independent church building, the community began parish life in temporary spaces.
From February 2020, the parish rented nearby commercial premises and celebrated Mass separately from the mother parish. During the same period it developed concrete plans for a permanent church. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 16, 2021, presided over by Bishop John Baptist Jung Shin-chul of Incheon, and the building was completed in October 2022.
The new church was dedicated on May 20, 2023, allowing the Cheongna 3-dong community to move beyond its temporary-church period and center its parish life on a permanent home. The sequence from separation, to temporary worship space, to construction and dedication shows the typical process by which a new parish forms and becomes established in response to population growth in a new city.
