Annai Mission Station

About this place

Annae Mission Station is a Catholic place of worship officially listed by the Diocese of Cheongju and located in Annae-myeon, Okcheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. A mission station serves as a small local center where Catholics living away from a parish church can gather nearby for prayer and continue their liturgical life. Annae Mission Station reflects the way Catholic faith has continued within the everyday life of a rural community.

The current diocesan list confirms the name “Annae” and its location, while a basic survey of Catholic architectural heritage conducted by Chungcheongbuk-do records 1960 as the construction year of the mission-station building. This establishes that the site has long been connected with the faith life of local Catholics. However, the sources do not identify the year of foundation or the formation of the earliest community, so those points are not inferred here; the introduction is limited to its present identity and its character as a long-standing Catholic building.
