About this place
Agisaseum Catholic Church Education Center is a retreat and educational facility of the Archdiocese of Gwangju on Sorokdo Island in Goheung County. It stands at 55 Sorokseonchang-gil, the same address as Sorokdo Catholic Church. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea lists it separately under retreat and prayer houses, and an archdiocesan support-group notice also identifies it as the “Sorokdo Agisaseum Catholic Church Education Center.”
Rather than being an independent territorial parish, the facility functions as a retreat and educational space connected with Sorokdo Catholic Church. Catholic sources have described the church and education center together as a retreat site and record the affectionate name “Agisaseum,” meaning “baby deer,” in connection with the name Sorokdo.
The center is therefore best understood as a place beside Sorokdo Catholic Church that supports prayer, reflection, and retreats for visitors while sharing the broader historical setting of the Catholic community on Sorokdo. Its primary identity is retreat and education rather than independent parish ministry.
