About this place
Damyang Catholic Church is a parish church of the Archdiocese of Gwangju in Damyang-eup, Damyang County, within the Gwangju North 1 district. Both the archdiocese and the Catholic Church Directory in Korea confirm St. Matthias the Apostle as its patron. Today it is the local parish where Catholics in Damyang-eup and surrounding areas continue their life of Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community. Its clearest character is that of a center for ordinary Catholic life rather than a special pilgrimage institution.
The Catholic community in Damyang reaches back to a mission period before the parish itself, but current sources still disagree on the exact establishment date, so this introduction does not choose one date over another. The stable information needed to understand Damyang today is its affiliation with the Gwangju North 1 district and its community under the patronage of St. Matthias. The detailed chronology is safer to finalize only after the conflicting source dates can be reconciled by stronger evidence.
