About this place
Geumchon 2-dong Catholic Church, at 12 Hanmaeum 1-gil in Paju, is a parish of District 8 of the Diocese of Uijeongbu. The current Catholic Church Directory records its establishment on May 26, 2005 and names the Blessed Virgin Mary as patron. The parish's official website presents the community as “Our Lady Mother of God, Geumchon 2-dong Catholic Church” at the same address.
Formed amid the growth of the Geumchon area in the 2000s, the parish serves as a local center for Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, devotional life, and community activity.
Although comparatively young, the parish developed a stable physical base and eventually dedicated a new church in 2017, an important context for understanding the place today.
History & origins
The official chronology of Geumchon 2-dong begins with the arrival of its first pastor on May 25, 2005. The current Catholic Church Directory gives the parish establishment date as the following day, May 26. On June 1 the parish site was confirmed and construction began.
Church construction developed alongside the new community. A topping-out Mass was celebrated on June 3, 2006, followed by the community's first Mass and gathering on July 23 and an entrance Mass on September 17. Parish life then continued while plans for a new church advanced, culminating in the dedication of the present new church on February 26, 2017.
This chronology shows a parish that began building both its community and its worship space immediately after its establishment in 2005 and reached another major milestone with the 2017 dedication.
