About this place
Gayang-dong Catholic Church is the church of Gayang-dong Parish in the Eastern Daejeon District of the Catholic Diocese of Daejeon. Its present pastoral territory includes all of Birae-dong and Gayang 2-dong. Within the residential areas of eastern Daejeon, it is the local parish center where Catholics gather for Mass and the sacraments and continue catechesis and community life.
The church building is both the place where the parish community celebrates the liturgy together and a center that connects different generations and neighborhood groups in their life of faith. Visitors can therefore understand Gayang-dong Catholic Church not simply as a separate religious building, but as the parish of the Diocese of Daejeon in which Catholics of Birae-dong and Gayang 2-dong form one community.
History & origins
Gayang-dong Parish was established in August 1989 when it was separated from Seongnam-dong Parish. A diocesan history prepared for the fiftieth anniversary of Seongnam-dong Parish likewise records that Seongnam-dong separated Gayang-dong Parish in August 1989. The new parish emerged as Catholic life expanded in the growing residential areas around Gayang-dong and Birae-dong.
The new community then began preparing a church of its own, and construction of the new church started in June 1991. Work continued for several years. The completed reinforced-concrete complex had three stories above ground and a basement and included the church, a convent, parking, and other supporting spaces intended to sustain the liturgical and educational life of the newly formed parish.
On 6 June 1995, the new church was dedicated in a liturgy presided over by Bishop Joseph Kyeong Kap-ryong, bringing the parish’s initial church-building project to completion. The movement from separation from Seongnam-dong to the creation of an independent liturgical home is the central story of Gayang-dong Parish’s formative years.
