About this place
Guryongpo Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu serving Catholics in Guryongpo-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang, as a place for Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and parish community life. Official diocesan information names Our Lady of Banneux as the patron of the parish, showing that Marian devotion forms part of the community’s spiritual tradition.
Set within the coastal living environment of Guryongpo, the parish serves as a pastoral center where local Catholics form a community of faith in daily life. Since its establishment as a parish, it has provided a continuing center for liturgical and sacramental life in the area, illustrating how a Catholic community took root in a local setting distinct from the large churches of a city center.
History & origins
Official parish records of the Archdiocese of Daegu state that Guryongpo Parish was established on May 23, 1986. From that point, the Catholic community in Guryongpo had the structure of an independent parish and a stable base for the continuing celebration of Mass and the sacraments for local Catholics.
The parish has formed its spiritual identity under the patronage of Our Lady of Banneux. Publicly available diocesan sources do not provide a sufficiently detailed chronology of later construction or relocation, so it is more accurate to treat the establishment of the parish in 1986 as the clear historical starting point rather than adding unverified building dates or events.
The verifiable history of Guryongpo Parish is relatively recent, but its establishment signifies the rooting of an independent Catholic pastoral community in this coastal area. The community has continued from that foundation into the present parish, making the year 1986 the central documented reference point in the Catholic history of Guryongpo.
