About this place
Seokgok Mission Station is a Catholic mission community in Seokgok-myeon, Gokseong County, belonging to Gokseong Parish in the Archdiocese of Gwangju. The archdiocese records its establishment on January 15, 1984 and identifies Seokgok-myeon as its pastoral area.
A Korean Catholic gongso, or mission station, is a local faith community smaller than an independent parish, where Catholics gather for prayer and communal religious life under the pastoral care of a mother parish. Seokgok provides a local center for Catholics living in the eastern part of Gokseong County away from the parish center.
The place is therefore best understood not as an independent parish church with a resident priest, but as a prayer place and faith community connecting Catholics in Seokgok-myeon with Gokseong Parish. Its continuity since 1984 is central to the meaning of the site.
