About this place
Yeongdeung Sora Catholic Church is a parish of the Catholic Diocese of Jeonju serving the Catholic community of Yeongdeung-dong and Sin-dong in Iksan. Current diocesan information names St. Francis of Assisi as its patron and identifies Yeongdeung-dong and Sin-dong as its pastoral territory. The parish convent is served by the Inbo Sisters of the Eucharist.
The church is the central parish space where Catholics in this urban area of Iksan continue their life of Mass, the sacraments, catechesis, and community activities. Its dedication to St. Francis of Assisi recalls the Franciscan tradition of evangelical poverty, fraternity, and reverence for creation. This introduction focuses on the parish's stable identity and role and does not include information such as schedules or current personnel that may change frequently.
History & origins
Official diocesan information states that Yeongdeung Sora Catholic Church was established on January 18, 2003. The parish began with St. Francis of Assisi as its patron and became a parish of the Diocese of Jeonju serving the Yeongdeung-dong and Sin-dong areas of Iksan.
Since its establishment, the parish has continued as a community in which urban Catholics can participate regularly in the liturgy and the sacraments. Current diocesan records also show a community of the Inbo Sisters of the Eucharist serving with the parish. Because reliable public official sources do not provide sufficient detail on the preparation for the parish's establishment or the chronology of construction and relocation, this history is limited to the verified foundation and the continuity of the parish community.
