A community born in 1992
Nogyang-dong was created by separating territories from the ancient parishes of Uijeongbu 1-dong and the cathedral of Uijeongbu. The first priest took office the day after the founding date.
Its territory includes Nogyang-dong and Uijeongbu and Yangon sectors. The parish website expressly confirms that its patron is SkillsMary's Heart.
The Heart that hears and conserves
The heart, in the Bible, designates the center of the person: the place of memory, decision and love. Mary retains in her heart the words and events related to Jesus and learns to understand them in the light of God.
Honoring your heart means asking for such an internality: able to listen, discern and remain with the suffering. "Immaculate" expresses the work of grace that unifies his whole life around God.
A parish of several languages
Official programming includes a Sunday Mass in Vietnamese and a celebration for the East Timorese community, in Spanish, on the third Sunday of each month.
These celebrations reveal a parish that does not identify unity with uniformity. Under Mary's maternal heart, people of different cultures can preserve their language and participate in the same ecclesial communion.
Prayer for reconciliation in Korea
The parish celebrates a mass for reconciliation and national unity on the third Saturday. Uijeongbu is located in the north of Seoul, in a diocese especially marked by the division of the peninsula.
Devotion to the Heart of Mary offers an appropriate language for this intention: to remember without hatred, to keep the pain of families apart and to keep the will to meet open.
The vida sacramental cotidiana
In addition to the Sunday and daily masses, the parish maintains Eucharistic veneration, Marian Mass on the first Saturday, care for the sick and blessings. Invocation is not separated from the sacraments or from the specific attention to families.
The first Saturday also includes a special blessing for pregnant mothers. The motherhood of Mary is thus made prayer for the life that begins and for those who welcome it.
