A community founded in 1960
The parish was erected 19 March 1960. The episcopal record also reveals the presence of the Servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Its history goes through decades of urban transformation in eastern Daegu. In this context, the Rosary offers a simple way to preserve the memory of the faith and transmit it between generations.
The Rosary looks at Christ
St. John Paul II explains that the Rosary, although characteristically Marian, is a prayer centered on Christ. Mary does not retain the believer's gaze, but teaches to contemplate the face of her Son.
Each mystery gathers a moment of the Gospel. The repetition of the avemaria creates a serene rhythm to listen to the Word and let it transform life.
A school of memory
Mary kept the events and meditated on them in her heart. To pray with it means to return to the life of Jesus not as one who remembers a distant past, but as one who receives a presence that illuminates the present.
In Banyawol, this memory can unite children, adults and older people, respecting the rhythm of each person and avoiding making prayer a mechanical obligation.
The Joyful Mysteries
The announcement, the visitation, the birth, the presentation and the finding of Jesus show a joy that cools with uncertainty and dedication. Mary listens, gets on her way and serves.
These mysteries invite you to welcome life, accompany mothers, care for children and visit those who need company.
The Painful Mysteries
The passion of Christ prevents the Rosary from becoming elusive. Mary remains close to suffering and teaches not to turn away from disease, injustice or loneliness.
Prayer acquires truth when it leads to holding the wounded and working so that the avoidable pain does not repeat itself.
The glorious mysteries and hope
The resurrection, ascension, Pentecost and glorification of Mary announce that death does not have the last word. This hope does not eliminate the test, but allows it to pass through without despair.
For an urban community, glorious mysteries remember that the future of God can begin in daily gestures of reconciliation, patience and care.
Los mysteria luminosa
The baptism of the Lord, Cana, the proclamation of the Kingdom, the transfiguration and the Eucharist contemplate the public life of Jesus. In Cana, Mary hears a concrete need and leads to the word of Christ.
His indication - do what he says - sums up the true Marian devotion: attention to needs and obedience to the Gospel.
Rosary for the peace of Korea
Constant prayer can embrace the entire Korean peninsula, especially the separated families and those who live without freedom. It does not replace work with peace, but it holds a look that does not dehumanize the other.
With Mary you can call for dialogue, justice, religious freedom and reconciliation that respects the dignity of each person.
