About this place
Hongeun 2-dong Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Seoul’s 2nd Seodaemun–Mapo District, located at 59 Gajwa-ro, Seodaemun-gu. Established on September 7, 2000, it is dedicated to Saint John Mary Vianney and serves the Catholic community of the Hongeun area.
The parish originally began under the name “Hongeun 3-dong Parish” after separating from Yeonhui-dong Parish. In 2012 its name was changed to “Hongeun 2-dong Parish.” The present community therefore directly continues the history of the former Hongeun 3-dong Parish, even though the current name no longer makes that origin obvious.
History & origins
Hongeun 2-dong Parish was established in September 2000 after separating from Yeonhui-dong Parish. The Catholic Encyclopedia’s history of Yeonhui records the new community under the name “Hongeun 3-dong Parish” and states that 313 households comprising 774 Catholics were transferred to the new parish. The current Catholic directory gives the establishment date as September 7, 2000.
For a number of years the community operated as Hongeun 3-dong Parish, a name also found in diocesan personnel records from the 2000s. A later GoodNews record concerning diocesan changes states that, effective April 2, 2012, “Hongeun 3-dong Parish” was renamed “Hongeun 2-dong Parish.”
Thus today’s Hongeun 2-dong Parish was not newly founded in 2012; it is the same parish established in 2000 under the earlier name. Reading the two names together is essential to understanding the continuity of the community’s history.
