Yeoksam-dong Catholic Church

With the expansion of the church in the Gangnam area, it was established on August 1, 1984, by dividing part of the jurisdiction (2,263 people) of Daechi-dong Catholic Church and Yangjae-dong Catholic Church. The first priest, Father Kim Gu-hee (John), was appointed, and the patron saint was designated as 'Saint Choi Gyeong-hwan (Francis)'. A temporary building was constructed and used while preparing for the dedication of the new church. On December 25, 1992, construction of the new church began on the site donated by brother Kim Dae-hwan. Five years after the start of construction, a grand and beautiful church with a total floor area of 3,960 pyeong and a net construction cost of approximately 12 billion won was completed, and on September 21, 1997, Cardinal Kim Su-hwan presided over the dedication ceremony of the new church.
