About this place
만촌1동 성당 is a Catholic parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu, serving Catholics in the Manchon-dong area of Suseong-gu, Daegu and centering parish life on the liturgy and the sacraments. The archdiocesan parish directory identifies the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the parish patron and presents the parish as a place where Mass and catechesis for those preparing to enter the Church are regularly provided. This makes the church best understood not simply as a building, but as the pastoral center where the Word, the Eucharist, formation, and communal life come together. Because the archdiocese lists it as a distinct parish, the parish name refers not only to the church building but also to the local Catholic community and its pastoral territory.
For a visitor, the key to understanding this place is that a parish is a living community in which local Catholics gather on Sundays and weekdays for prayer and the sacramental life of the Church. The patronal dedication gives the community a distinctive spiritual reference point, while priests and lay faithful share in liturgy, formation, service, and fellowship within the official structure of the archdiocese. The parish therefore remains a continuing place of ordinary Catholic life and communal encounter in its local area.
History & origins
According to the official parish directory of the Archdiocese of Daegu, 만촌1동 성당 was established on June 28, 2002. This is the starting point of the parish that can be verified in the currently available official archdiocesan record, after which it has continued as an established parish community within the diocesan structure. The publicly accessible official sources do not provide enough detail to reconstruct every stage of its early preparation or church-building history, so the chronology here is limited to verifiable dates and events.
In 2022 the parish celebrated the 20th anniversary of its establishment with a Mass of thanksgiving and Confirmation. To mark the anniversary, the community also donated 20 million won to the archdiocese’s official social-welfare support association, Milalhoe, for distribution to social-welfare facilities and Church ministries. The current archdiocesan directory still lists 만촌1동 성당 under the same parish name, linking the verified date of establishment and the later anniversary to the parish community that continues today.
The history of a parish is not only a history of buildings, but also the accumulated life of a community that has continued to celebrate Mass, the sacraments, and catechesis in one locality. The parish’s continued presence in the official structure of the archdiocese after its verified founding date is itself an important sign of that historical continuity.
