Tapo Mission Chapel

About this place

Tappo is a Catholic mission station of the Diocese of Masan located in Tappo village, Nambu-myeon, Geoje-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. The Catholic directory registers it as a mission station under Geoje Parish and confirms the same location as the package data. Its essential identity is therefore not that of an independent parish but of a small local center, linked to its mother parish, where Catholics can continue prayer and community life close to their own village.

Situated in a coastal village of southern Geoje, Tappo Mission Station serves as a link between a parish covering a wider territory and a small village community. Available official material clearly confirms the present mission station and its jurisdictional relationship with Geoje Parish, but it does not provide a founding date or an account of how the earliest Catholic community was formed. For visitor information, it is therefore most appropriate to present the site primarily through its current identity as a mission station.
