About this place
The Salesian community in Guro 3-dong is located at 82 Digital-ro 27-gil, Guro-gu, Seoul, the same address as Guro 3-dong Catholic Church. The current church directory shows that the community's superior, vice-superior, and bursar also serve as parish and assistant priests, confirming the close integration of parish ministry and Salesian religious life here.
Guro 3-dong Parish itself presents Salesian spirituality with an emphasis on Don Bosco's Preventive System and on reason, religion, and loving-kindness in service of young people, especially those most in need. The community lives this Salesian spirituality through the liturgical, educational, and youth ministry of the local parish.
History & origins
The Salesians entered Korea in 1954 and developed a range of apostolates, including youth education and parish ministry. Guro 3-dong Catholic Church, where the present community serves, was established on October 17, 1963, and its patron is Saint Francis de Sales, whose name and spiritual tradition were adopted by Don Bosco for the Salesian congregation.
The current church directory explicitly identifies members of the Guro 3-dong Salesian community as the parish and assistant priests. The history of this place is therefore best understood not only as part of the broader Salesian story but also as a history of local parish ministry in Guro 3-dong. The available official sources do not establish the exact date when the present “Guro 3-dong Community” was separately organized as a religious community.
