About this place
Ogeum-dong Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Seoul’s 10th Songpa District, located at 27 Wiryeseong-daero 22na-gil, Songpa-gu. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea directory lists the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary as its patronal feast, and the Olivetan Benedictine Sisters currently participate in the parish apostolate.
As the Catholic parish serving the Ogeum-dong area of Songpa-gu, it provides Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community life for local Catholics. Although the dataset name includes the notation “(branch),” the current Catholic directory lists Ogeum-dong as an independent parish.
History & origins
Ogeum-dong Parish was established on October 13, 1989, after being separated from Sincheon-dong Parish. The Catholic Encyclopedia of Korea explains that large-scale residential development and population growth in the Jamsil-Ogeum area during the 1980s created the need for a new parish, and that about 2,650 Catholics formed the new community at the time of separation.
The parish then developed its own church and pastoral facilities. A rectory was secured in August 1993, and construction of a new church began that December. The completed church was dedicated on September 8, 1996, in a liturgy presided over by Cardinal Stephen Kim Sou-hwan.
This development illustrates how the Archdiocese of Seoul responded to rapid growth in the Songpa area by creating a new local parish and gradually providing it with an independent church complex.
