About this place
Haengun-dong Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Seoul’s 13th Gwanak District, located at 39 Haengun 4-gil, Gwanak-gu. It was established on February 22, 1994, and is dedicated to the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Although its current name is Haengun-dong, the same parish community was long known as Nakseongdae Parish.
Formed from Bongcheon-dong Parish amid the growth of the Gwanak area in the 1990s, it later built its present church and became the mother parish of Nakseongdaedong and Inheon-dong parishes. Its significance therefore lies both in serving today’s Haengun-dong community and in helping form newer Catholic communities in the surrounding district.
History & origins
Haengun-dong Parish began under the name Nakseongdae Parish. The current Catholic directory records its establishment date as February 22, 1994, while a 1999 Catholic Times report states that Nakseongdae Parish was separated from Bongcheon-dong Parish in 1994. It was created to serve the growing Catholic population of the Gwanak area more closely.
The community pursued construction of a permanent church, and Archbishop Nicholas Cheong Jin-suk dedicated the present building on October 31, 1999. Contemporary reporting notes that the complex included the main church, a small chapel, hall, Eucharistic adoration room, and pastoral meeting rooms. The current name Haengun-dong later became standard, while Catholic sources continued for a time to use expressions such as “Haengun-dong (Nakseongdae) Church.”
In the 2000s the parish became a mother parish for newer communities. GoodNews parish information records that Nakseongdaedong Parish was established in 2005 from Nakseongdae Parish, identified as today’s Haengun-dong Parish. Inheon-dong Parish also separated from the former Nakseongdae Parish in the same period, making Haengun-dong an important base in the development of the Gwanak District’s parish network.
