About this place
Yangdong Market Mission Station is a Catholic mission community of the Archdiocese of Gwangju located inside Yangdong Market in Seo-gu, Gwangju and belonging to Bukdong Parish. The archdiocese records it as established on June 5, 2009 and located in Room 401 of Cheongnyong Sangsa at 260 Cheonbyeonjwa-ro.
Unlike many rural mission stations, it is distinctive for being established within a traditional urban marketplace. It provides a pastoral point where merchants and nearby Catholics can take part in prayer and liturgical life close to their place of work.
Yangdong Market Mission Station is therefore best understood not as an independent parish church, but as a local faith community within the market under the pastoral care of Bukdong Parish.
