About this place
Gunwi Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Daegu, serving the Catholic community of Gunwi-eup together with the two mission stations of Bugye and Uiheung. Its patron is the Immaculate Virgin Mary, and the official archdiocesan directory lists both mission stations under the parish.
Its role is especially significant in connecting Catholics across a broad rural area. The archdiocesan listing of Bugye and Uiheung as mission stations under the parish shows a structure in which communities separated by distance are joined within one pastoral unit rather than gathering only around a single church building. Gunwi Catholic Church thus serves as a center of Catholic life for the wider Gunwi area through the relationship between parish and mission stations.
History & origins
Gunwi Parish was established on December 8, 1956. The official Archdiocese of Daegu parish directory specifies this date, marking the point from which Catholics in the Gunwi area had an independent parish structure for sacramental and community life.
The Archdiocese of Daegu records that a Mass for the parish's 60th anniversary was celebrated at Gunwi Catholic Church on November 13, 2016, together with Confirmation. This anniversary liturgy was an official archdiocesan milestone acknowledging the long continuity of a community that had begun in the 1950s.
A sufficiently detailed chronology of church construction or relocation was not found in the official sources reviewed, so those points are not inferred. The verifiable sequence runs from the establishment of the parish in 1956 through continued pastoral life to the 60th-anniversary commemoration in 2016.
