About this place
Yeongnae Mission Station is a Catholic mission station belonging to Seongsan Parish in the Central District of the Diocese of Chuncheon. It serves as a local center where Catholics in the Duchon-myeon area of Hongcheon can continue their life of faith close to home. The Diocese of Chuncheon officially lists Yeongnae under Seongsan Parish, making clear that it is not an independent parish but a mission station served within the pastoral care of the parish.
Seongsan Parish ministers to a wide rural and mountainous area of Hongcheon through several mission stations. Within this network, Yeongnae provides a place for Catholics who live far from the parish church to gather for prayer and liturgical life and to sustain their community ties. Its significance therefore lies less in its size than in the continuity of local Catholic life and its connection with the parish.
History & origins
According to official diocesan records, Yeongnae Mission Station was established in 1967. At the time, a number of mission communities were being formed across the Hongcheon area for Catholics living in rural and mountainous villages far from a parish church, and Yeongnae took shape within this pastoral structure.
In August 1976, the Seongsan mission community was separated from Hongcheon Parish and elevated to become Seongsan Parish, creating a parish center for pastoral care of mission stations in eastern Hongcheon. The Diocese of Chuncheon now records Yeongnae as a mission station under Seongsan Parish. This confirms its continuing place in the rural pastoral network centered on Seongsan, sustaining prayer and liturgical life for the local Catholic community.
Public official sources do not provide enough detail to reconstruct building projects, relocations, or other minor milestones. The history is therefore limited to the verified date of establishment and the development of its parish jurisdiction.
