About this place

Godeok Parish belongs to the Hongseong District of the Catholic Diocese of Daejeon and is a Catholic parish centered on Godeok-myeon in Yesan County, Chungcheongnam-do. Both the diocese's current parish guide and the nationwide Catholic directory list Godeok as a parish of the Hongseong District.

By serving the Godeok-myeon area as an independent parish, it allows local Catholics to attend Mass, receive the sacraments, and continue catechesis and community activities without having to travel to a more distant parish. In a rural township setting, the parish also has significance as a continuing place of encounter where faith, relationships across generations, and mutual care can be sustained.

History & origins

Godeok Parish was newly established in January 2021 when the Diocese of Daejeon created two new parishes. The diocese's official notice defined Godeok Church's territory as the Godeok-myeon area and identified Deoksan Parish in the Hongseong District as its mother parish. The Catholic community of Godeok-myeon thus began as an independent pastoral district separated from Deoksan Parish.

In the priest assignments published in the same notice, Father Noh Ho-young was appointed “Pastor of Godeok (newly established),” and January 21, 2021 was given as the arrival date for transferred priests. A Catholic Times report on the same round of appointments likewise described the Godeok pastorate as a newly created assignment, providing a cross-check that the parish and its initial pastoral structure were established together.

Because the parish was founded relatively recently, official records documenting a long sequence of church construction or relocation remain limited. The verifiable core of its early history is therefore the 2021 separation from Deoksan Parish and the establishment of an independent parish centered on Godeok-myeon.
