About this place
Jangpa-ri Mission Station is a Catholic mission community at 270 Jangmaru-ro in Papyeong-myeon, Paju, under the pastoral care of Jeokseong Parish of the Diocese of Uijeongbu. It is not an independent parish but a small local community where Catholics gather for Mass, prayer services, and common prayer.
The mission is closely connected with the history of the Imjin River border area. Jeokseong Parish continues to celebrate regular mission Masses there, and since 2005 sisters of the Blessed Sacrament Sisters of Charity have lived and served locally through child-care, home visits to older residents, food sharing, and other community ministries.
History & origins
Jangpa-ri Mission Station traces its beginnings to the period after the Korean War, when three Americans drowned during the reconstruction of Libby Bridge over the Imjin River. The official Jeokseong Parish account says that the military chaplain Fr. Bruno established the mission in memory of their souls. During the 1960s, American relief supplies arriving through military chaplains also brought local residents into closer contact with the Catholic community and encouraged the growth of faith.
In 2005 sisters of the Blessed Sacrament Sisters of Charity were assigned to the mission, established a local convent, and began ministries for children, older residents, and households in need. The history of Jangpa-ri thus developed from wartime memory and borderland experience into a local center of faith and service.
