About this place
Wangsil Mission Station is a rural Catholic community of the Sangju District in the Diocese of Andong under the care of Oksan Parish. It provides a local place for Catholics in Gongseong-myeon, Sangju, to gather for prayer and liturgical life. The current mission-station list of the Diocese of Andong identifies Wangsil as belonging to Oksan Parish, and the Catholic Directory of Korea likewise lists it as an Andong diocesan mission station.
Wangsil illustrates the pastoral purpose of a mission station in an area where Catholics live at some distance from the parish center. Diocesan materials continue to show Oksan Parish and Wangsil connected within the same pastoral and liturgical framework. The place is therefore best understood not as an independent parish but as a local chapel community linked to Oksan Parish, sustaining Catholic life in a rural setting.
