About this place
Jangseong Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu in Buk-gu, Pohang, serving Catholics of Jangseong-dong and nearby neighborhoods as a center for Mass, the sacraments, faith formation, and community life. The archdiocese's official directory names Christ the King as the parish patron. Devotion to Christ's kingship, understood as an order of truth, love, and service, provides a spiritual reference for a community seeking to live by Gospel values within everyday urban life.
Within the residential districts of northern Pohang, Jangseong Parish is a local center where Catholics gather regularly for the liturgy, learn the faith across generations, and continue fellowship and service. Within the parish community, children, young people, adults, and older parishioners can grow in faith in ways appropriate to their stage of life, care for one another, and connect ordinary daily life with the liturgical life of the Church.
History & origins
According to the official directory of the Archdiocese of Daegu, Jangseong Parish was established on November 15, 1993. It took shape as an independent Catholic community during a period of residential expansion in northern Pohang, providing Catholics of Jangseong-dong and nearby neighborhoods with a stable base for parish life close to home.
On November 26, 2008, the parish marked its 15th anniversary with a commemorative concert. The archdiocesan magazine Light recorded that both parishioners and local residents attended. Alongside liturgical and sacramental life, this cultural event offers a glimpse of a parish seeking to broaden its relationship with the surrounding neighborhood.
On November 26, 2023, a Mass of thanksgiving for the 30th anniversary was celebrated together with Confirmation, and the archdiocesan record states that 124 people received the sacrament. The record from the 15th-anniversary community event to the 30th-anniversary thanksgiving Mass and Confirmation shows a parish that built up both faith and local relationships over the course of a generation. Its history since foundation is therefore not merely the passing of years, but a process of taking root as a local church through liturgy, sacraments, and encounter with its neighbors.
