South Korea
“Oh Jesus! Have mercy on all those who come to the Blessed Mother’s mountain by washing their souls and bodies and opening what has been clogged in them with the blood and water that You shed by squeezing Your whole body so that everyone without exception may achieve the victory of resurrection with the help of the grace of repentance and give glory to the Lord.”
~ Julia Kim’s prayer on June 30, 2002
On June 30, 1985, the Blessed Virgin Mary began weeping through her statue owned by Julia Kim in Naju, Korea. Since then, messages were given and numerous miracles have occurred urging the faithful to repent and return to God. The Blessed Mother’s House and the Blessed Mountain in Naju have been a sanctuary and a special place of graces for pilgrims who visit. You are invited to join a 6-day Pilgrimage to Catholic Shrines of South Korea with Our Lady of Naju with a Pilgrimage Chaplain leaving on November 11, 2021. May you find joy and serenity in the bosom of Our Lady during this weeklong retreat.
Your pilgrimage begins in the village of Solmoe where the first Korean Catholic priest, St. Andrew Kim Daegeon was born. This is also the birthplace of Korean Catholicism. Proceed to Haemi, called “The Graves of the Unknown Martyrs” to pray for the numerous Catholics who were tortured and martyred for their faith. Celebrate Mass at the awe inspiring Haemi Church.
Onwards to Naju to visit the House of the Blessed Mother, which houses the weeping statue of Our Lady of Naju. Spend time in prayer before the miraculous image and offer your petitions before her. Head for the Naju Blessed Mountain, the site of a miraculous spring which has been instrumental for numerous healings. Celebrate Mass in this sacred place and meditatively pray the 14-stations of the cross.
Next stop is a visit to the Mirinae Shrine, where the remains of St. Andrew Kim Daegeon lie. Delight yourself in the breathtaking display of colorful autumn leaves at the Shrine.
Journey on to the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Namyang, also known as Rosary Hill. Here, a large number of Catholics were martyred during the Great Byungin Persecution. To commemorate their martyrdom as proof of their faith, Namyang was designated as a holy site. A highlight of your visit is the opportunity to pray the rosary at the 20-decade Rosary Road, which is a lovely path surrounded by trees and shrubs.
Wind down your pilgrimage in the beautiful city of Seoul, a city of stark contrasts steeped in ancient traditions and cutting edge digital technology. Learn how to make kimchi on your visit to the Kimchi School. Celebrate Mass at the Saenamto Church, an awesome church built in traditional Korean architectural style.
