About this place
Ilsan Catholic Church is the district-head parish of District 7 of the Diocese of Uijeongbu, located at 57 Wonil-ro in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang. Its patron is St. Anthony of Padua, and it serves Catholics in Ilsan 1-dong, Ilsan 2-dong, and part of Tanhyeon-dong.
The community traces its roots to a mission station in the 1930s and is one of the foundational Catholic communities of the Ilsan area. As the new city expanded, parishes including Baekseok-dong, Tanhyeon-dong, Jungsan-dong, and Pung-dong developed from its territory. Since 2005 it has also served as the central parish of District 7.
History & origins
The roots of Ilsan Parish go back to an Ilsan mission station under Jungnim-dong Parish in the 1930s. In the 1950s, military chaplains helped the community obtain its present site and construct a church. The parish's official chronology records elevation from mission station to parish on March 30, 1958, followed by the blessing and inauguration of the church by Bishop No Gi-nam on July 3.
The current Catholic Church Directory in Korea, however, gives June 25, 1958, as the establishment date. Because the two official sources differ, the history safely treats 1958 as the year of parish elevation without forcing a single exact date. In June 2005 the church became the district-head parish of District 7.
