O God, who have been pleased to increase

your adopted children in all the world,

and who made the blood of the Martyrs

Saint Andrew Kim Tae-gon and his companions

a most fruitful see of Christians,

grant that we may be defended by their help

and profit always from their example.

-- collect on the Memorial

of Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gon, Priest, and Paul Chong Ha-sang,

and Companions, Martyrs

celebrated on September 20

Saint Andrew Kim Tae-gon was the first native born Korean to be ordained a Catholic priest in 1844. Given that Catholics in Korea generally practiced their faith covertly in this era, he spent six years in a seminary in China before sneaking back into Korea as a missionary to convert his fellow Koreans to Christianity. In 1846, at the age of 25, Saint Andrew Kim was martyred as part of a Christian persecution on behalf of the Joseon Dynasty during the 1800s. In all over 100 people (most of the laity) were martyred. They are all remembered in this one memorial, but their individual stories are uniquely heroic. To read more about these individual stories, CLICK HERE, and HERE.

This week we celebrate the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
