About this place
Wolpyeong-dong Catholic Church is the parish church of Wolpyeong-dong Parish in the Daejeon Western district of the Diocese of Daejeon. The Catholic Church directory in Korea lists it as an independent parish, with the 103 Korean Martyr Saints as its patrons. The Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing participate in the parish apostolate, so the parish is a place where priests, religious sisters, and lay Catholics together sustain the liturgy, faith formation, and pastoral work of the local community.
Located within the urban area of Seo-gu, Daejeon, Wolpyeong-dong Catholic Church is clearly a parish church for the ordinary life of local Catholics rather than a shrine commemorating a particular pilgrimage event. Having the Korean Martyr Saints as its patrons connects the parish's spirituality with the martyr tradition of the Korean Church, while the church serves as the everyday center where that faith is lived through Mass, the sacraments, and community gatherings.
History & origins
Wolpyeong-dong Parish was established on August 1, 1994. The Catholic Church directory in Korea records this date and lists the 103 Korean Martyr Saints as the patrons of the parish. The creation of a new parish in the urban area of western Daejeon in the 1990s reflects the broader process by which the diocesan parish structure was being subdivided in response to changing Catholic populations and pastoral needs.
Since its establishment, Wolpyeong-dong Parish has become an independent parish in the Daejeon Western district, with the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing participating in its apostolate. The principal historical facts that can be confirmed from publicly available official directory material are the time of foundation and the parish's continuing status; the detailed sequence of church construction and later facility changes is not sufficiently documented in reliable public sources.
Within the verified evidence, the history of Wolpyeong-dong Catholic Church can therefore be summarized as the development of a parish founded in 1994 that became established as a local pastoral community in western Daejeon. More detailed chronology should be added only when parish historical records can be securely verified.
