About this place
Gondae is a Catholic outstation of the Diocese of Andong and a rural faith community in Dain-myeon, Uiseong-gun. The current Guide to the Catholic Church in Korea classifies Gondae as an outstation of the Diocese of Andong, and its address on Seobu-ro 3499 matches the information in the package.
The Korean Catholic Encyclopedia's history of Dain Parish also lists Gondae historically among the outstations of the Dain area. Gondae Outstation represents the tradition by which Catholics scattered across a wide rural area formed a local community while remaining connected to parish pastoral care. The fact that this long-standing name continues to be maintained as an outstation today itself expresses the continuity of the local Catholic community.
History & origins
The Guide to the Catholic Church in Korea records 1909 as the year Gondae Outstation was established. This shows that a Catholic community in the form of an outstation existed in the area long before the present parish structure of the Diocese of Andong was formed. However, available reliable public sources do not establish who founded the community or where its earliest liturgical gatherings took place.
Dain Parish was established in 1961, and the Korean Catholic Encyclopedia later lists Gondae among the outstations under Dain Parish. Gondae can therefore be confirmed as a community that retained an earlier outstation tradition and continued within the pastoral jurisdiction of the parish organized later. Although detailed records of its earliest phase are lacking, the 1909 establishment record and the later parish relationship confirm the continuity of an outstation community that has lasted for more than a century.
