About this place
Maseok Catholic Church is a parish of District 1 of the Diocese of Uijeongbu, located at 38 Maseok-ro in Hwado-eup, Namyangju. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea records the parish as established on February 22, 1985, and names Christ the King as its patronal title.
The parish serves Catholics of Maseok and the wider Hwado area through Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community life. It also carries the historical roots of a mission community that developed during the 1970s. Devotion to Christ the King and its long-standing role as a pastoral center in eastern Namyangju shape its present identity.
History & origins
The Maseok community's recorded history includes the 1976 transfer of Maseok Mission Station from Cheongpyeong Parish of the Diocese of Chuncheon to Guri Parish of the Archdiocese of Seoul. In 1978 the community secured property, renovated and blessed an existing building, and then built a new mission church, which was completed and blessed in November of that year.
The dates surrounding parish establishment need to be distinguished rather than collapsed. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea gives February 22, 1985, as the establishment date, while the parish's official history records a jurisdictional change on February 22 and describes February 24 as the day Maseok was separated and newly established as a parish. Fr. Thaddeus Lee Sang-jun arrived as the first pastor on March 7. As the community later grew, areas including Pyeongnae, Changhyeon, Cheonma, and Sudong were successively separated into new parishes.
