About this place
올산 공소 is a mission station in the Jecheon pastoral district of the Diocese of Wonju under the care of Danyang Parish. The Catholic Church directory in Korea lists Olsan in Daegang-myeon, Danyang County, as a mission station of the diocese and confirms that it remains within the pastoral care of Danyang Parish. Its basic role is to provide a nearby place where Catholics living away from the parish church can gather for prayer, the celebration of Mass, and community life.
In an area such as Danyang, where villages can be widely separated, a mission station is an important point of connection between the parish and local Catholics. 올산 공소 should therefore be understood not as an independent parish but as part of the community of Danyang Parish. Public sources do not describe the details of its present activities, but its continuing official status as a mission station itself shows the persistence of a Catholic community in this area.
History & origins
The Catholic Church directory in Korea records March 5, 1963 as the establishment date of 올산 공소. Publicly available church sources do not provide detailed information about the circumstances of its foundation, the construction of an early chapel, or the number of Catholics at the time. They do, however, establish that by the early 1960s Olsan had been formally organized as a mission community within the pastoral network of the Danyang area.
올산 공소 subsequently continued under Danyang Parish and remains registered today as a mission station in the Jecheon pastoral district of the Diocese of Wonju. Because the published record is limited, intermediate events such as relocation, extension, or renovation should not be supplied without evidence. The verified founding record and the present jurisdiction nevertheless show that this small Catholic community has remained connected with Danyang Parish over a long period.
