The official Korean title
The Episcopal Sheet uses CEO Greeting, expression meaning "Holy Name of the Mother of God" or "Holy Name of Mary." The patronal identity is not derived from the civil name of the neighborhood, but from the ecclesial record.
To invoke the name of Mary expresses filial closeness and confidence in her intercession, always oriented to Jesus Christ.
The name of Mary in Christian tradition
The Gospel of Luke identifies by its name the young woman of Nazareth chosen to be the Mother of Jesus. The Church pronounces that name with veneration for the mission received from God, not as a magic formula.
The feast of the Holy Name of Mary is held on September 12. It invites you to contemplate their availability, humility and fidelity.
Mary leads to the name of Jesus
Authentic devotion does not stop in Mary. She welcomed the Son and said to the servants of Cana, "Do as he tells you." His name recalls a life entirely given to Christ.
John Paul II linked the memory of Mary's name to trust, peace and fidelity to the Gospel.
A consolidated parish in Namdong
The diocese confirms the foundation of 1965 and maintains contemporary pastoral information of Gojan. The enclosure also includes the funerary space Mong-eundang, registered by the authorities, although this sheet and its marker correspond to the parish temple.
The existence of memory and prayer services for the deceased adds a pastoral dimension, but does not change the patronal title.

Prayer to the Holy Name of Mary of Gojan
St. Mary, whose name recalls grace and fidelity, keeps the parish of Gojan. Teach us to listen to the Word, to serve with humility and to do as Jesus tells us. It comforts those who weep their dead and leads the whole community to your Son. Amen.
