About this place
Dongdaemun Market Catholic Church is a quasi-parish of District 4, Jongno, in the Central Seoul Region of the Archdiocese of Seoul, located at 318 Cheonggyecheon-ro in Jung-gu. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea records its establishment date as February 22, 1994, and lists Our Lady, Queen of Peace, as its patron.
The community grew from Mass gatherings among Catholics connected with the Dongpyeonghwa and Pyeonghwa market area. Unlike a typical residential parish, it has a distinct pastoral role within one of Seoul's major commercial districts, providing a Catholic place of worship and prayer in the Dongdaemun Market area.
History & origins
The Dongdaemun Market Catholic community traces its beginnings to 1991, when several Catholics in the Dongpyeonghwa Shopping Complex gathered in Room 651 for a weekly Thursday Mass. In February 1992 the community celebrated its first Mass as the Pyeonghwa Market mission station under Dongdaemun Parish, and in 1993 it purchased Rooms 601 and 602, establishing the base of the present church.
In February 1994 it separated from Dongdaemun Parish and was formally approved as Pyeonghwa Market Quasi-Parish; the current Catholic Church Directory gives February 22 as the establishment date. The name was changed to Dongdaemun Market Catholic Church in January 2005, and a renovation of the church was completed and dedicated in December 2012.
