About this place
Bokhyeon Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu in Buk-gu, with Saint Joseph as its patron. It is a fully established parish providing Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and communal Catholic life for local faithful, with its own church building and pastoral organization. Official parish records identify it as the Catholic parish serving the Bokhyeon-dong area.
Its character lies not only in the church building but in the effort of the whole parish to form a community of faith in daily life. Through liturgy, formation, fellowship, and service, generations of parishioners are connected within a local expression of the Church. A visitor can therefore understand Bokhyeon not simply as a place of worship, but as the setting in which a long-established Catholic parish community in northern Daegu continues its life of faith.
History & origins
Bokhyeon Parish was established on February 4, 1995, with Father Jang Hyo-won Joseph appointed as its first pastor. Before a permanent church had been built, the community celebrated its first Mass in a tent church on March 26 of that year, beginning its regular pastoral life in provisional surroundings.
Construction of a permanent church proceeded in stages. The groundbreaking ceremony and Mass for the new church were held on August 15, 1997, and the building was completed on January 21, 1999. On October 22, 2000, Archbishop Paul Yi Mun-hi presided over the dedication of the new church, formally establishing a stable liturgical home for the parish community.
After the church was in place, the parish also developed its communal structures. In 2003 regular “small church” gatherings began in 63 neighborhood groups throughout the parish as part of an effort to establish a small-community movement. In 2008 the church underwent major renovation, including replacement of the floor with marble. The sequence shows how Bokhyeon grew from a tent church into a settled parish with a permanent sanctuary and an increasingly organized community life.
