About this place

Achasan Parish belongs to the 8th Seongdong–Gwangjin District of the Archdiocese of Seoul and is a Catholic parish community in the Junggok-dong area of Gwangjin-gu. The Korean Catholic Directory records the Transfiguration of the Lord as the parish’s patronal title and also notes the connection of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus with the parish community.

Achasan Parish is an Archdiocese of Seoul parish where local Catholics continue their life of faith centered on the Mass and the sacraments. Its patronal title, the Transfiguration of the Lord, is connected with the Gospel event in which Christ’s glory is revealed. The parish can therefore be understood both as a place of ordinary liturgical life for the local Catholic community and as a community that remembers the Gospel meaning expressed in its patronal dedication.
