About this place
Dongbaek St. Joseph Parish belongs to the Giheung District of the First Vicariate of the Diocese of Suwon. It serves the Catholic community in the Dongbaek area of Giheung-gu, Yongin, and honors Saint Joseph the Worker as its patron, gathering parish life around the Mass and the sacraments.
Having Saint Joseph the Worker as patron expresses a desire to follow Joseph's faithful life in family and work and to live the Gospel in ordinary circumstances. Dongbaek St. Joseph Parish functions as a local center where Catholics pray, receive faith formation, and build fellowship as a parish community.
History & origins
Dongbaek St. Joseph Parish was established on September 1, 2009. The diocesan chronology later records that the parish, then referred to as “Dongbaek No. 2,” was given the settled name Dongbaek St. Joseph and that Saint Joseph the Worker was confirmed as its patron. This marked the process by which the newly formed community acquired a clear parish identity, name, and patron saint.
The community subsequently took root as an independent parish in the Dongbaek area of Giheung-gu. The diocesan chronology records a Mass celebrating the parish's 10th anniversary in December 2019, showing that the first decade of its life was commemorated together within the diocesan community.
The current Directory of the Catholic Church in Korea lists Dongbaek St. Joseph as a parish of the Giheung District in the Diocese of Suwon. Because the publicly available diocesan sources do not provide a sufficiently detailed chronology of the church building itself, the history is limited to the verified sequence of foundation, confirmation of name and patron, and the 10th-anniversary celebration.
