A officially confirmed employer
The directory of the Episcopal Conference of Korea records Sangwan within the diocese of Jeonju and literally slogan "Blessed Virgin Mary Queen" as patronage. The file also confirms the date and address.
The current directory of the diocese of Jeonju reidentifies the parish of Sangwan in the same direction and with its contact details.
A translation without adding titles
The Korean means "Blessed Virgin Mary Queen." It does not include in this sheet the words "of Heaven and Earth," present in the patronage of Samjeong-dong.
Maintaining that difference avoids melting two nearby liturgical titles and respects the formulation chosen by each community.
Founded on 7 December 1976

The official sources consulted here do not detail the foundational circumstances or the construction of the temple. This page does not invent any additional reasons, protagonists or dates.
Mary's royalty depends on Christ
Mary is called Queen because she is uniquely united to Jesus Christ, King of the universe. All that he receives comes from grace and is directed towards his Son's mission.
Pius XII presented this teaching in Ad caeli Reginam. The title does not make Mary a goddess and does not place her out of the condition of a creature.
The maiden that is elevated
In the Annunciation, Mary presents herself as the servant of the Lord. The Visitation is on its way to help. His greatness is not built through dominion.
Christian royalty inverts the logic of power: who serves, takes care of and gives himself shares in the way of Christ's reign.
A crown of fidelity
The Marian crown symbolizes a faithful life from Nazareth to the cross. It does not hide the poverty, exile and pain that Mary went through.
To honor her as Queen demands to reject the abuse of authority and the search for prestige at the expense of others.
Mary intercede
The Christian community comes to Mary with maternal confidence. She intercedes and always leads to Christ, the only savior.
Prayer does not work as an order addressed to heaven, nor does it guarantee that every desire is fulfilled as formulated. Educate to receive God's will and act responsibly.
Authority as service
The advocation interpels with parents, educators, ecclesial leaders and public authorities. Every responsibility must protect the dignity of those who depend on it.
Mary Queen teaches to listen, to be accountable and to put the gifts at the service of the common good.
First rroquia en Sangwan-myeon
Sangwan is located in an environment of Wanju different from the large metropolitan centres. The parish community can guard closeness, memory and daily ties.
This file does not attribute undocumented current programs or features. He recognizes the vocation of service contained in his patronage.
The little ones in the Kingdom
The Magnificat proclaims that God looks at humility and does not forget the little one. The royalty of Mary offers hope to those who the world considers to be of little importance.
That hope is not passivity. It gives courage to seek help, defend dignity and accompany those who have been excluded.
Service in daily life
Marian royalty can be lived in simple gestures: caring for an elderly, listening to a child, fulfilling a responsibility or recognizing a mistake.
The authentic service does not seek to control or make it dependent. Help with freedom and limits.
Sin superstición
Images and crowns can express devotional love, but they are not amulets. Its meaning depends on the faith that leads to the Gospel.
Nor does prayer replace medical, psychological, legal or social care when a situation requires it.
Mary Queen and the peace of Korea
From Sangwan you can pray for separate families, for those who live without freedom and for political leaders called to serve the people.
The humble Queen inspires a peace that does not humiliate the defeated, but seeks truth, justice and dignity for all.
