About this place
Daechon Catholic Church is a parish church of the Archdiocese of Gwangju in Jiseok-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju, within the Gwangju South district. The archdiocese formally established Daechon Parish on January 20, 2022, and its current parish record identifies Simon and Jude as the patron. The address at 611 Pochung-ro is consistent between the original establishment notice and the current parish record.
Its very recent establishment in 2022 is the clearest characteristic of the place. Rather than an old site of church history, it is best understood as a modern parish created so that local Catholics could continue Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community life within an independent pastoral community.
The meaning of Daechon Catholic Church therefore lies less in a long architectural history than in the present role of its newly formed parish community. Under the patronage of Simon and Jude, it serves the ordinary Catholic life of the southern Gwangju area.
