#Pilgrimage #Catholicism #Holy Land Korean Catholic Pilgrimage 『Uijeongbu Cathedral』 27, Sinheung-ro 265beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do Pilgrimage date: November 15, 2024 Uijeongbu Cathedral was designated as the cathedral when the Uijeongbu Diocese was established in 2004. However, it has a deep-rooted history as the center of faith in northern Gyeonggi Province, moving from Sinam-ri Cathedral (established in 1925) to Deokjeong-ri Cathedral (1937) and then here in 1945. It can be called the 'mother cathedral' that branched off all the cathedrals currently in Uijeongbu, Yangju, and Dongducheon. In particular, it is a religious community that is faithful to its role as a mother in the local community by establishing the first Legion of Mary in the Seoul Archdiocese in 1957 and making great contributions to the local community through Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital, credit union, and kindergarten. The historic site cathedral located in front of the entrance to the cathedral was built and consecrated in 1953 with the help of an American military chaplain, and is currently managed as Gyeonggi-do Cultural Heritage Material No. 99. This building is one of the oldest structures in the Uijeongbu area, and although it does not have a colonnade like the general form of cathedral architecture before and after the Korean War, the vertical bell tower, the front style, and the apse (back of the cathedral) show a style that maintains the classical form. The new cathedral behind the old cathedral was completed and consecrated in August 2003.
