MEMORIAL OF ANDREW KIM TAE-GŎN, PRIEST, AND PAUL CHŎNG HA-SANG, AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS

The bishop of the Korean city of Daejeon said the theme “calls us to reflect seriously on our identity and our consistency as Catholics.” Take this opportunity to consider what your Catholic identity means to you.
