Korean Catholicism began as an unprecedented event, with laypeople learning and studying the faith independently.
There were over 10,000 persecutions and martyrdoms, of which 103 were canonised and 79 were beatified among them.
You can visit the birthplace of Korean Catholicism, the birthplace and martyrdom site of St. Andrew Kim Dae-geon, the first Korean priest, and his grave. The site includes the Seosomun Martyrs' Shrine, Solmoe, and Haemi Shines, which Pope Francis visited during his 2014 visit to Korea. Also included were the Jeoldusan Martyrs' Shrine and Myeongdong Cathedral, which Pope John Paul II visited in 1984 and 1989.
The 3-day trip may be short, but we will try to make it a fruitful time and also see the surrounding scenery of Korea.
