About this place

Yeoncheon Catholic Church is a parish of District 4 of the Diocese of Uijeongbu at 19 Yeoncheon-ro 308beon-gil in Yeoncheon-eup. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea records it as established on September 24, 1992, with St. Andrew Kim Tae-gon as its patron.

The parish serves Catholics in the border-region town of Yeoncheon through Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community life. Because of its patronage under St. Andrew Kim, it was also designated one of the diocesan pilgrimage churches during the jubilee marking the 200th anniversary of the saint's birth in 2021. The parish brings together the spirituality of Korean martyrdom and the everyday pastoral life of a border community.

History & origins

Yeoncheon Parish was established on September 24, 1992. Under the patronage of St. Andrew Kim Tae-gon, it became an independent parish community serving Yeoncheon-eup and has continued Catholic pastoral life in this northern border region.

The current Catholic Church Directory clearly confirms the establishment date, address, and patron, but a detailed public chronology of the early church building and dedication is not available in the sources reviewed. The secure historical outline therefore centers on the 1992 parish foundation and its continuing local ministry rather than adding unverified construction dates.
