About this place
Bonli Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu in Dalseo-gu, with Saint Andrew Kim Taegon as its patron. It is the local Catholic community where the faithful center their life on Mass and the sacraments while also sharing catechesis, faith formation, fellowship, and service. Official diocesan records identify it as an established parish that continues to carry out pastoral ministry in the local Church.
Having Saint Andrew Kim Taegon as patron places Korea's first priest and the witness of martyrdom before the parish as a spiritual sign. A visitor can therefore understand Bonli not simply as a church building, but as the local parish home in which generations of Catholics in the Dalseo-gu area have continued liturgical, sacramental, and communal life.
History & origins
Bonli Parish was established on August 31, 1983. It took shape as an independent parish during a period of residential growth in the southwestern part of Daegu, providing a local pastoral unit where Catholics could regularly receive Mass, the sacraments, and catechetical formation. The diocesan profile clearly confirms the date of establishment, while public official sources do not provide enough detail to reconstruct every stage of the early church-building process or territorial division, so the history is best limited to the facts that can be verified.
Forty years after its establishment, Bonli celebrated a 40th-anniversary thanksgiving Mass and Confirmation in September 2023. The liturgy, celebrated with the archbishop, formally marked the way the parish had taken root as a local church community over more than a generation. The span between the founding date and the 40th-anniversary celebration shows the continuity of the parish's Catholic presence in the same area.
