About this place
Bongam Mission Station belongs to Jinan Parish of the Catholic Diocese of Jeonju and serves the Catholic community in the Bongam area of Bugwi-myeon, Jinan County. The current diocesan list registers Bongam as an existing mission station under Jinan Parish. Together with other mission communities in Bugwi-myeon, including Bugwi Mission Station, it forms part of the network that connects Catholics scattered through this mountainous region with the parish church.
The Jinan area has long relied on village mission stations as local centers of Catholic life. Bongam therefore has significance as a small church community that helps Catholics living at a distance from the parish church maintain a shared Catholic identity. Public Catholic sources, however, give conflicting years for its establishment, so this introduction limits itself to the presently verifiable identity and affiliation of the place.
