About this place
Sangsa Catholic Church is a parish church of the Archdiocese of Gwangju in Sangsa-myeon, Suncheon, within the Suncheon district. The archdiocese records the parish as established on May 15, 2009, with St. Andrew Kim Tae-gon as its patron.
Established as an independent parish in the late 2000s, Sangsa serves Catholics in Sangsa-myeon and the surrounding area through Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community activities. The archdiocese's information on missionary institutes also notes that the Missionaries of Guadalupe currently participate in parish ministry at Sangsa.
The church is therefore both a local parish under the patronage of St. Andrew Kim Tae-gon and a place where collaboration with a missionary society forms part of parish ministry in the archdiocese. The liturgical and pastoral life of the community since 2009 is central to the meaning of the place.
