About this place
Jungri Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu in Seokjeok-eup, Chilgok County, with St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus as its patron saint. Located in a residential area connected with the Gumi industrial region, it is a local parish where Catholics celebrate Mass and the sacraments together and continue faith formation for children and adults along with community activities.
The present church is a center where local Catholics pray together and share their faith, while the spirituality of St. Thérèse shapes the identity of the community through its liturgical and devotional life. Visitors can see here how a local parish situated within an industrial and residential area functions as an everyday community of faith.
History & origins
Jungri Parish was separated from the existing Indong Parish and established on October 1, 2001, as the population grew in the Indong area and in Jungri, Seokjeok-eup. Both the Digital Chilgok Encyclopedia and sources from the Archdiocese of Daegu record this background of separation and the same establishment date.
The new parish did not begin with a completed church. The archdiocesan magazine Light records that in the year after its establishment the community set up a greenhouse-style temporary church on land it had purchased and used container buildings as the priest’s residence and parish office. In a rapidly developing area with many young adults and children, the community thus began its life of faith around temporary facilities.
The Daegu Archdiocesan Bulletin records that the new church was dedicated on June 20, 2004. The progression from a greenhouse church to a permanent church building in about three years remains a central part of the parish’s history, showing how Jungri Parish became established amid rapid changes in the surrounding residential and industrial area.
