A documented patronage
The Episcopal Conference of Korea records Skills, the Assumption of Mary, as patronage of Manchon 1-dong. It also confirms the archdiocese, the direction and the founding date.
The document documents a parochial dedication. It does not attribute private apparitions or messages to the place and this page retains that difference.
A parish since 2002
The community was erected 28 June 2002. The episcopal directory documents the collaboration of the Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Relief.
The coexistence of this religious service with the patronage of the Assumption recalls that the hope of heaven does not deviate from the present needs.
What the Assumption means
The Church teaches that Mary, who finished the course of her earthly life, was brought in body and soul to the glory of heaven. This unique grace comes from the Paschal victory of Jesus Christ.
Mary is not a goddess or a disconnected exception of humanity. His glorification anticipates the promised resurrection to those who belong to Christ.
The body is called to life
The Assumption states that the body is not a disposable object. The whole person deserves respect for health, disease, disability, old age and death.
This faith leads to accompanying those who depend on care and to reject any exploitation that measures value by appearance or productivity.
Hope in the duel
Faith in the resurrection does not eliminate tears or demand to speed up mourning. It allows you to cry with the confidence that death does not have the last word.
Mary glorified can accompany those who fire a loved one and those who live in fear of a disease.
On August 15, Korea
Solemnity coincides with Gwangbokjeolon the day of national liberation. In Korea, the Marian party and the memory of freedom illuminate each other.
Pope Francis recalled that the freedom received must become service, solidarity and the construction of a just society.
A hope that serves
Looking to heaven does not mean getting rid of the earth. Mary sings to a God who raises the humble and remembers his mercy.
The community can express this hope by visiting older people, accompanying caregivers and providing support to families in difficulty.
Reconciliation of Korea
The Assumption anticipates a humanity gathered in God. From Manchon 1-dong can be asked for separate families and for those who work to overcome the division of the peninsula.
Peace needs memory, truth, justice and perseverance, not just good wishes.

The independent search by direction offers a virtually coincident point. The marker corresponds to the royal temple and not to the center of Manchon-dong.
To visit and pray
The fourth glorious mystery can be prayed for the sick, the caregivers and the deceased, and the fifth for the reconciliation of the peoples. The hours should be confirmed directly before they come.
Manchon 1-dong is a parish dedicated to the Assumption, not a place of apparitions. The visit must respect the cult and the local community.
Prayer to Our Lady of the Assumption of Manchon 1-dong
Mary, raised in body and soul to glory, keeps the parish of Manchon 1-dong and the families of Daegu. It accompanies the sick and caregivers, comforts those who cry and teaches us to respect the dignity of each person. Intercede for the freedom, reconciliation and peace of Korea, and keep our hope in the resurrection alive. Amen.
