About this place

St. Thomas Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu, with St. Thomas Aquinas as its patron saint. It is the parish church where Catholics in the Daemyeong-dong area of Daegu’s Nam-gu take part in Mass and the sacraments, receive catechetical formation, and share parish life, and it is listed by the archdiocese as an independent parish.

By taking St. Thomas Aquinas as its patron, the parish is linked with the saint’s tradition of seeking harmony between faith and reason. The church is therefore best understood not simply as a building but as the center of a parish community in which local Catholics learn and live their faith through liturgy and catechesis.

History & origins

The official parish directory of the Archdiocese of Daegu records October 1, 1985, as the establishment date of St. Thomas Parish. An archdiocesan article marking the centenary of Namsan Parish lists St. Thomas among the parishes that were later separated from Namsan, confirming that an independent community emerged through the reorganization of parish territory in the Daemyeong-dong area.

Since its establishment, the parish has continued as an independent parish under the patronage of St. Thomas Aquinas. The publicly available archdiocesan sources do not provide enough detail to reconstruct the preparatory period before the parish was founded or the building and relocation history of its first church, so no unverified dates or construction narrative are added.
