About this place
Bullo Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu in Dong-gu, with Mary, Mother of God, as its patron. Centered on Bullo-dong, it is an independent parish responsible for local Masses, sacraments, catechesis, and community life, and it stands on the foundation of an older mission-station community that grew into the present parish.
Its patronal dedication to Mary, Mother of God, offers the parish a spiritual sign of approaching Christ within Marian devotion. Today Bullo serves generations of Catholics in the part of eastern Daegu where urban neighborhoods meet the foothills of Palgongsan, supporting liturgy, formation, and community activity. The present parish is best understood with awareness that behind it lies a longer history of local evangelization and community formation dating back to the mission-station period.
History & origins
The Catholic community in Bullo began within the wide territory of Dongchon Parish. In the spring of 1957, when Dongchon divided its catechumen classes among several locations, catechumens from Bullo, Dodo, and Pyeonggwang gathered for instruction at the home of Joseph Yang Gyu-sik in Bullo-dong. As the number of catechumens and faithful grew, Father Mark Kwon Yeong-jo purchased a house in Bullo-dong on May 20, 1962, converted it into a hall, and established Bullo Mission Station, appointing Yang as its first mission president.
The mission station gradually developed a more independent community structure. The Legion of Mary was introduced in 1982, and regular Saturday anticipated Mass began the following year. The hall was expanded and Sunday school and devotional groups were organized. In June 1983 Dongchon Parish purchased the site of the present church in preparation for eventual elevation to parish status, and a church-building committee was formed in 1990.
Groundbreaking for the new church took place on April 20, 1991, and on December 12 of that year Bullo Mission Station was elevated to parish status. The new church was completed on December 27 and was dedicated on April 19, 1992. The progression from a home catechism class to a mission station, then to organized devotional and educational life and finally to an independent parish with its own church, shows how Bullo grew through both local Catholic initiative and the expansion of diocesan pastoral care.
