About this place
Umyeon-dong Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Seoul’s 12th Seocho District, located at 551 Jungang-ro, Seocho-gu. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea directory lists the Holy Family as the parish patron.
The parish serves Catholics in Umyeon-dong and the residential area south of Yangjaecheon through Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community activities. It was separated from Yangjae-dong Parish in the early 2000s as residential development and the Catholic population grew, forming part of the expansion of the parish network in southern Seocho.
History & origins
Umyeon-dong Parish was established on June 1, 2001, after being separated from Yangjae-dong Parish. The new parish was created as residential development and the Catholic population grew in the Umyeon-dong area, making a division of the larger Yangjae parish necessary.
When Umyeon-dong became independent, its mother parish, Yangjae-dong, provided 3 billion won to support construction of the new parish church. This is recorded as more than an administrative division: the mother parish shared financial resources so that the new community could establish its own church and pastoral base.
The creation of Umyeon-dong Parish reflects the wider pattern by which the Archdiocese of Seoul divided expanding parishes into more local communities during the rapid development of Gangnam and Seocho. The present parish grew from this separation and the effort to establish an independent church base.
