Does anyone know of any Catholic English-speaking services in Korea that are closer to Bucheon than the one in Myeong-dong, and if not, I'm looking for any information on ANY Catholic English-speaking services at all. Thanks!

As someone born and raised Catholic, I would advise you that going to church is a waste of time.

In any event, Merry Christmas! ...for real.

If you're in Incheon/ Bucheon, then you can go to Dong-Incheon for English church services. Mass is at 4pm, a real inconveniet time, and I had difficulty understanding the priest's accent. (He's Filipino). Only went there a couple times, because people talked during the service all the time.

Can't recall what exit the cathedral was at, though. You have to walk about ten minutes through the underground shopping mall.
I had to ask for directions. The cathedral is on the left, up a real steep hill.

I've heard the Catholic Uni might have services, or know of English services, but I never had them verified. I left Incheon soon after.

Yes, thank you. I didn't ask for any opinions on religions, I'm just interested in finding the closest Catholic service to Bucheon, so ANY advice would be great. Please keep it coming!

The Anglican church in Seoul, at city hall station is right next to the British Embassy and beside the Koreana Hotel. They have church service in English downstairs at 9:30 a.m. The minister is from Ireland and a real nice fellow. Everyone is very kind and if it wasn't for the distance I'd go every week, as it is I go with my wife to Global Mission church which is ok but a little too evangelical for me.

I've heard that there is a Catholic church/English service in Itaewon. Not sure when they have mass. I think it's past the Rocky Mountain bar.

Why don't you call 1330 (from landline) or 02-1330 (from cell). They should be able to help you.

There is a 9a.m. and 11a.m. Catholic service at a church in Hannam Dong, very close to the Hannam Supermarket / Volvo Building and Dankook University. It would basically be the first stop after the bus crosses the Han River. Its on the right side of the road if you're going into Seoul. Many buses take that route so transport should be easy.
