I've been trying like heck to find an English Mass in Ulsan or Pusan. Does anybody know of one?

Don't know how up-to-date these are, but you might find sth you like here...

A guy I worked with a long time ago went to that Suyeongro place and seemed to like it. Guess it also depends on what denomination you are. Also, whether there is truly an English service or some kind of strange translation service.

Some more places here..

Pusan Churches

Sorry, but don't know much about Ulsan, but I'm sure you can do a search on it.

Sorry, should have been more specific. I'm looking for a Catholic mass. Pusanweb doesn't list any Catholic churches, and the rest of my searches have come up with outdated information.

There is an English Mass at the Catholic Center. It was moved to that location last year, so the information on may be wrong. It used to be at a different church.
If you need directions, it will take me a bit to get them. I am in Seoul, and would need to either find my little notebook with the directions (may take a week or two) or wait for my friends in Busan to respond back to me.
While I taught there, I used to attend a Korean church weekly and once a month go to the English Mass. The English Mass has a priest from the local seminary who is a westerner, and a priest from the diocese.
If you need directions sooner than I can give, try to see if you can join the local Korean churches young adult group. There normally is two or three in the group that can speak halfway decent English.
PM if you need me to look up the directions.

There is a thread somewhere on Pusanweb with directions.

I'll try to find it and post a link later after work.

If you look at the second link I provided, you'll see this one...

Again, don't know how up-to-date it is or what kind of English service it is, but it is supposedly a Catholic Church. At least there's a contact number. The link from the link seems a bit useless as it sends you to the some site that's all in Korean...oh well.

If the link doesn't work.

Go to Pusanweb, General Forums Busan Living Q&A.

Type Catholic mass in the little search box near the bottom of the page.

The "Catholic mass in Dongnae-gu" thread has info about the English mass in Busan and one in Ulsan
