Ganseong Cathedral was separated and established in Sokcho Nave (Current, `` Dong Myeong-dong Cathedral '') on August 14, 1958. Kanseong Catholic Church was a jurisdiction over Yangyang parish center, centered on Hakyari, an old Shinchon village. After restoration, the courtship jurisdiction over Sokcho parliament became a court of jurisdiction in a private house, and the tuition increased greatly by the activities of the president and several believers. Fiercely praying for the establishment of a parish, earnest believers purchased the current church site (71-6, Ganseong-ro, Ganseong-eup, Ganseong-eup, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do), and built a receptacle and an accompanying priest at 108 pyeong with equipment support from the 3rd Army Corps. On October 7, 1958, the dedication of the temple was celebrated by the gathering of the bishop Thomas. At the time the parish was established, many of the non-believers who were trying to get relief were baptized, as relief items from the Catholic Church of the United States were supported at the Church of St. Clair. This support was provided during the pastoral ministry of St. Columban's Foreign Missions to provide economic assistance to the area and helped grow the church's leadership. In September 1985, when the Korean priest was appointed for the first time, it provided an opportunity to operate the church as a self-supporting system.In 1998, the necessity of building a new temple due to the deterioration of the temple was urgently needed. Started the sales business and dedication of the Rosary 1 million dan. In the meantime, on July 3, 2002, the temple burned down due to a short circuit fire. In the midst of this crisis, however, the parish community began to spur the construction of a new temple rather than disappointed, visited the other parishes, actively engaged in the business of selling goods, and asked for help from numerous benefactors. The collection of Bishop John Bishop John led to the dedication of the new temple. In 2018, the parish celebrates its 60th anniversary, but there are a lot of schoolmates who have been baptized and retired during the distribution of relief supplies, and young believers are left to work and are working in other areas. The development has severed the outflow of population to the city, disrupting the regional commercial area, and making the regional economy difficult due to the crunch of inter-Korean exchanges.
