History & origins
Jingeon Parish was established on October 18, 1993, as an independent Catholic community serving Jingeon-eup. The Good Shepherd became its patronal title, and the parish continued to develop as the local area experienced demographic change and urbanization.
Building-registry-based information identifies the present church building at 23 Sareung-ro 372beon-gil as a religious facility completed on January 27, 2014. The public Church sources reviewed do not provide a detailed chronology of the construction or dedication of this building, so the 2014 date is used only as a building-completion date and not as a church dedication date.
