Haemi

The following link was provided in my church bulletin yesterday: www.haemi.or.kr.

Haemi is sacred ground for Catholics. Three thousand Catholics were martyred there in the 19th Century, a century in which Korea gave about 10,000 martyrs to the Church Triumphant. Of these, 103, the Martyrs of Korea, have been canonized as saints of the Universal Church, including their leader, the patron of this blog, Saint Andrew Kim Taegon.
