About this place
추동 공소 is a mission station of Cheongil Parish in the Diocese of Wonju and a small Catholic community in the Chudong area of Gapcheon-myeon, Hoengseong County. A feature on Catholic Peace Broadcasting identifies it as a mission station of Cheongil Parish, while the current Catholic Directory of Korea lists a Diocese of Wonju mission station at the same location.
Situated in a mountain village, 추동 공소 is best understood not as an independent parish with a resident priest but as a place that connects local Catholics to their mother parish and sustains common prayer and faith life. The fact that the mission station remains despite changes in population and the size of the community illustrates the pastoral importance of maintaining small Catholic communities across a wide rural area.
