About this place
Dopo Mission Station is a Catholic mission community in Dopo-myeon, Yeongam County, belonging to the Archdiocese of Gwangju. The Catholic Church Directory in Korea confirms the address at 38 Yeongho-gil and records its establishment on October 4, 1973. The Korean Catholic Encyclopedia's history of Yeongam Parish also records that Yeongam Parish established the Dopo mission station on that date.
A Korean Catholic gongso, or mission station, is a local faith community smaller than an independent parish, where Catholics gather for prayer and continue their religious life under pastoral care. Dopo has historical significance as a local Catholic gathering place that has served believers in Dopo-myeon since the 1970s.
The present mother-parish relationship could not be independently cross-checked with sufficient current official documentation, so it is not asserted here. Its identity as an Archdiocese of Gwangju mission station established in 1973, together with its address, is consistently supported by Catholic sources.
