As medicine develops and sense of hygiene improves, the life expectancy has been longer and the 'aging society' has come. As we never experienced the aging society, there are concerns about the problem that could be caused by the aging society. The main cause of the concern is related to finance. We tend to see the aging society regards to finance; the decrease of labor population and the increase of cost to support seniors. Seniors are treated as an obstacle in the modern IT society where individual competence and new knowledge are valued. Society devalued seniors as the main cause of various social problems and even describes the aging society as 'a national timing bomb' or 'the shadow of disaster'. As a result, seniors are getting isolated and suffer various difficulty. On the contrary, church regards seniors as the blessed creature of God, symbol of wisdom and people to be respected. So, a church accepts aging as a blessing and a big project. Following this, Daegu Archdiocese carries out various pastoral projects for seniors. However, pastoral projects for seniors are far less paid attention comparing with the pastoral projects for the youth. Daegu Archdiocese should make an effort to develop the pastoral projects for seniors. Such effort would be helpful to make a social trend which accepts old age as a blessing and mission, and play a big role to recover the dignity of the seniors. This thesis gives priority to reconfirm the meaning of the old age and its value following the lesson of the catholic church, and seek the ways to recover the dignity of the senior. In addition, this thesis plans to grasp the state of the aging society and the pastoral projects for seniors by Daegu Archdiocese, and suggest substantial guideline to improve and develop the projects. This is the purpose of this thesis. A similar study had been done at the graduate school in Catholic University in 2009. It is the thesis by Chan Young Choi for his graduate degree; The role of the catholic church to activate the pastoral projects for seniors in the aging society - mainly by Archdiocese of Seoul and Uijeongbu. However, the thesis is about the activity in Seoul and Uijeongbu, and a study about the activity in Daegu Archdiocese needs to be done. Therefore, in chapter I this thesis overviews the aging society and the life of the seniors in general. In chapter II this thesis tries to understand the meaning of the old age and its value through bible, documents kept in the church and the catholic church, and confirm the lesson of the catholic church regards to seniors. In chapter III this thesis analyzes the state of the aging society in Daegu Archdiocese and in the ares under its jurisdiction, and examines the state of the pastoral projects for seniors and problems. Finally in chapter IV this thesis finds the purpose of the pastoral projects for seniors to set a correct direction and the goal of the pastoral projects for seniors following the guideline of the projects. This thesis also suggests the ways to improve and activate the pastoral projects for seniors based on Daegu Archdiocese and its parish church.

This research seeks to revitalize the social welfare work activities with the Daegu Diocese of Korean Catholic Church. To this end, we surveyed its members' social welfare work awareness and achievement status. We further analyzed the relationship between their faith life and their social welfare awareness and activities. Thus we found out what effect the members' faith life has on their social welfare awareness and activities. Our voluntary sampling polled 589 effective subjects, out of the targeted 600 members, from eleven churches, under the Diocese. The finding revealed that members of the Daegu Diocese lacked in basic awareness for social welfare and in understanding the values that are offered in social welfare science and the social teachings of the Korean Catholic Church. Interestingly, the Diocese's members identified social welfare with charities, and regarded it just as a ceremonial act. The finding showed, they accepted social welfare as their duty, and this positive attitude was influenced by the Church's teaching on 'Practice Love.' Members of the Daegu Diocese also were found to passively participate in volunteer services and other social welfare work. We surveyed what effect the members' faith life had on their social welfare awareness and activities. Their faith life, measured by the baptism period, home faith life and other external factors, had minimal impact on their social welfare awareness and activities. However, their Mass participation, sacrament of penance and other internalized factors of faith life, significantly influenced their social welfare awareness and activities. Although the believers, through their faith life, enhanced their awareness for social welfare, this awareness was not translated into action. Members of Korean Catholic Church at the Daegu Diocese attributed much of their actions stated above to their individual responsibility, but they also attributed it to the churches' lack of social welfare education and of approaches for social welfare work activities. Therefore, to insure the members of the Korean Catholic Church at the Daegu Diocese have an affirmative awareness for social welfare per the teachings of the Bible and teachings of the church, and to insure their participation in specific welfare functions and operations, we must provide social welfare education that is focused on it's value to the members faith life. In addition the Daegu Diocese must also establish it's own Volunteer Service Center. We trust that the results of this research will be of great assistance to the Daegu Diocese of Korean Catholic Church for improving its social welfare work, and will serve as a basis for social welfare education which targets it's church members.
