The exact episcopal title
The Conferencia Episcopal de Corea registers el patronazgo como Sex Mole, "Heart of Mary." The tab does not incorporate the "immaculate" adjective, so this page respects Dunpo's own formulation.
The membership of the diocese of Daejeon, the direction and the founding date are also confirmed. There is no Marian apparition linked to the site.
A parish since 1976
The community was erected 13 September 1976. It is found in Dunpo-myeon, north of Asan, outside the highest metropolitan concentrations.
The permanence of a local parish depends on discrete fidelities: families that transmit the faith, greater families that keep the memory and lay people who support prayer and daily service.
The heart in Scripture
In biblical language, the heart designates the center of the person. There the events are remembered, the will of God is discerned and decisions are made.
Saint Luke presents Mary by keeping and meditating in her heart what lives with Jesus. His contemplation is not isolation: he moves her to get in the way and to accompany.
Listen before acting
In the Visitation, Mary welcomes the Word and then visits Elizabeth. In Cana he perceives a need before others express it.
A community under his heart is called to listen without haste to older people, young people, families and newly arrived people, and to discern a response that respects his dignity.
Memory and gratitude
Keeping memory doesn't mean living locked in the past. It allows you to recognize the gifts received and transmit them to new generations.
The parish can keep names, testimonies and forms of service without turning history into nostalgia or excluding those who arrive later.
Repair the damage
The tradition of the Heart of Mary speaks of reparation. To repair requires to recognize evil, to ask for forgiveness, to restore what is possible and to change conduct.
Prayer becomes true when it leads to reconciling a relationship, protecting a victim or accompanying a person who lives with a material difficulty.
A spirituality of reception
Economic and demographic changes can bring people from different stories together in the same locality. The Heart of Mary teaches to receive them without reducing them to their origin or work.
The reception needs concrete gestures: guidance, translation where possible, listening and equal access to community life.
Peace for Korea
Mary remained with the disciples while waiting for the Holy Spirit. His presence helps to ask for a unit that does not erase the truth or the wounds.
From Dunpo you can pray for separate families and for those who maintain patient paths of dialogue and reconciliation.

Prayer to the Heart of Mary of Dunpo
Heart of Mary, he keeps the parish of Dunpo and the families of Asan. Teach us to listen before answering, to keep the memory with gratitude and to repair the damage with works of love. He welcomes those who come from afar, accompanies the older and intercede for the reconciliation of Korea. Always lead us to the Heart of your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
