About this place
Hwawon Mission Station is a Catholic mission community at 9 Cheongyong 2-gil, Hwawon-myeon, Haenam County, belonging to Usuyeong Parish in the Archdiocese of Gwangju. The archdiocese records it as established on January 8, 1995 and serving the Hwawon-myeon area.
A Korean Catholic gongso, or mission station, is a local faith community smaller than an independent parish with a resident priest, where Catholics maintain prayer and communal faith life under the pastoral care of a mother parish. Hwawon serves as the local point connecting Catholics of Hwawon-myeon with Usuyeong Parish.
It is therefore best understood as a local faith community belonging to Usuyeong Parish, with continuity since 1995 forming the core identity of the place.
