About this place
용화 공소 is a mission station of Sajik-dong Parish in the Yeongdong pastoral district of the Diocese of Wonju, serving the Catholic community in Yonghwa-ri, Geundeok-myeon, Samcheok, and the surrounding area. The Catholic Church directory in Korea identifies Yonghwa as a mission station under Sajik-dong Parish, and the parish's listed territory also includes Yonghwa-ri. Its present identity is therefore that of a local community connected to Catholics in the area within the pastoral jurisdiction of Sajik-dong Parish rather than an independent parish.
Unlike a parish with a resident priest, a mission station operates under the pastoral care of its mother parish and enables Catholics living at some distance from the parish church to gather nearby for prayer and, when arranged, the celebration of Mass. 용화 공소 can thus be understood as a local point of faith connecting the east-coast community with Sajik-dong Parish. Public sources do not describe current programs in detail, so visitors should regard it as part of the parish community rather than as a separate parish church.
