About this place
Chang-dong Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Seoul’s 6th Dobong–Gangbuk District, located at 45 Dobong-ro 110na-gil, Dobong-gu, Seoul. Its patron is St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, and the Korean Catholic Directory records the parish as established in 1975.
As Catholic communities in the Chang-dong and Dobong area grew, several neighboring parishes were later separated from its territory. Today it remains the local parish where Catholics of Chang-dong gather for Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community life.
History & origins
Chang-dong Parish was established in early 1975 by separation from the Suyu-dong and Dobong-dong parishes. The sources differ slightly in how they date this event: the current Korean Catholic Directory gives February 1, 1975, as the establishment date, while the Korean Catholic Encyclopedia’s history of Suyu-dong Parish says that Chang-dong was separated in January 1975. At that time, about 1,000 registered Catholics were transferred from Suyu-dong to the new Chang-dong community.
As the Catholic population of the Dobong area continued to grow, Chang-dong in turn became a mother parish for neighboring communities. Beon-dong Parish was established in 1983 from territories of Chang-dong, Suyu-dong, and Jangwi-dong, and in 1991 a community that began as a Chang-dong mission station became independent and eventually developed into today’s Chang 5-dong Parish.
