About this place
Saenggok Mission Station belongs to Seoseok St. Andrew Kim Taegon Parish in the Diocese of Chuncheon and serves Catholics in and around Saenggok-ri, Seoseok-myeon, Hongcheon County. The diocesan mission-station directory lists Saenggok under Seoseok Parish, and the parish history also confirms that the Saenggok area has long been part of its pastoral territory.
Seoseok-myeon is a broad mountain region where villages are widely separated. Saenggok Mission Station therefore has particular meaning for Catholics who live far from the parish church, allowing them to maintain community life closer to home. As a small pastoral center, it enables local Catholics to pray together, celebrate Mass, and remain connected with the parish, sustaining Catholic life in the Saenggok area over time.
History & origins
The Saenggok area was already within the pastoral territory of Seoseok Mission Station before Saenggok itself was formally established. According to the Diocese of Chuncheon’s history of Seoseok Parish, when the Seoseok mission community took shape in 1956, its territory included Saenggok-ri 1 and 2. As the Seoseok community grew, separate mission stations were gradually organized for Catholics in surrounding mountain areas.
The diocesan mission-station record gives September 16, 1965, as the establishment date of Saenggok Mission Station. When Seoseok Mission Station was elevated to parish status on May 31, 1968, Saenggok, together with Naemyeon, Jangpyeong, Mulgeolli, and Gwangwon Mission Stations, came under the new Seoseok Parish. The relationship between Saenggok and the Seoseok Catholic community thus continued within a formal parish-and-mission-station structure.
Public diocesan sources do not provide a detailed account of later building changes or major events at Saenggok. Nevertheless, its continued status as a mission station of Seoseok Parish since 1965 shows the long continuity of a small Catholic community in the mountain region of eastern Hongcheon.
