Korean Servants of God
News that "[t]he Congregation for the Cause of Saints begins its investigation that will lead to the beatification of 124 Martyrs and Father Thomas Choe Yang[-eop], who will join the 103 Korean Martyrs canonized by Pope Wojtyła in June 1984" — Official petition for 125 Korean Martyrs presented to Vatican.
The martyrs died between 1791 and 1884, and the majority of them were lay people. The article reminds us that "the Church in Korea [was] born in 1784 thanks to the evangelisation of a group of lay people." His Excellency Francesco Kim Ji-Young, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to the Holy See, commented that "as a layman, I pray for 124 Korean martyrs to be raised to the status of the Blessed and the Saint, as soon as possible. I am here on the behalf of all Korean laypersons, who share the same hope with me."
