About this place
Yeongcheon Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu at 236 Choemuseon-ro, Yeongcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, with the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as its patronal title. The official archdiocesan directory lists the Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres at the parish and identifies it as a center of Catholic life for the local parish community and its mission stations.
On January 1, 2026, a new church was dedicated as the parish marked the 90th anniversary of its foundation. The parish continues its long history in the new church through liturgy, the sacraments, faith formation, and community life.
History & origins
Catholic parish life in the Yeongcheon area was preceded by Yongpyeong Parish in Hwasan-myeon, founded in 1907. While serving there, Father Louis Delande of the Paris Foreign Missions Society established a mission station in Yeongcheon town and sent two consecrated women from Samdeokdang together with a lay catechist. This missionary foothold later developed into Yeongcheon Parish.
On January 1, 1936, the diocese formally established Yeongcheon Parish by appointing Father Froidvaux of the Paris Foreign Missions Society as its first pastor. Exactly ninety years later, on January 1, 2026, a new church was dedicated, linking the community's beginnings as a mission station with a new stage in its parish history.
