About this place
Jamsil 7-dong Catholic Church is a parish of the Seoul Archdiocese's 10th Songpa District at 26 Baekjegobun-ro 12-gil, Songpa-gu. Its patronal title is the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the parish serves a community formed around parts of Jamsil-bon-dong and Jamsil 7-dong.
The present church is the result of a community separated from Jamsil Parish that passed through years of temporary worship spaces and a long church-building effort. The parish's own history also emphasizes that, alongside building the church, the community continued street evangelization, Bible programs, and various forms of spiritual formation.
History & origins
Jamsil 7-dong Parish began by purchasing a church site early in 1993 as Jamsil Parish prepared for division. It was formally established on October 18, 1993 with 1,033 households and 2,883 Catholics. The community first borrowed Jamsil Church for Sunday Masses, then completed a temporary prefabricated chapel at the present site and celebrated Christmas Midnight Mass there on December 24.
Parishioners began a major church-building fund in 1997 and organized a building committee in 1999. Bishop Paul Kim Ok-kyun presided over the groundbreaking Mass on February 23, 2000. During construction the community continued worship, including in the basement hall of the new building.
After the completion inspection in September 2001, the new church was dedicated on January 27, 2002 by Archbishop Nicholas Cheong Jin-suk. The roughly eight-year journey from a temporary chapel to a permanent church is a defining part of the parish's early history.
