About Your Pilgrimage

Lord, my Light and my Savior! Love is beautiful and sweet, but also is sacrifice and sweat. To make a beautiful flower of love blossom, I want to love even the bitter cold of winter and offer up the pains that visit me without ceasing, imitating the martyrs. I wish to be a comforter for You like a grain of wheat that falls to the ground and dies to bear many fruits.

~ Julia Kim, visionary of Our Lady of Naju.

On June 30, 1985, the Blessed Virgin Mary wept through a statue owned by Julia Kim in Naju, South Korea. Since then, countless messages and miracles have moved the faithful to repentance and a return to God. The House of the Blessed Mother and the Holy Mountain of Naju have become sanctuaries of grace, drawing pilgrims from around the world.

You are invited to join a 6-day Pilgrimage to the Catholic Shrines of South Korea with Our Lady of Naju, accompanied by a Pilgrimage Chaplain, from April 19 to 24, 2026. Come and experience the healing love of Our Lady and the profound spiritual blessings that await on this grace-filled pilgrimage.

Begin your pilgrimage at Korea’s largest sacred site, the Haemi Shrine, also known as the Graves of the Unknown Martyrs. Nearly 2,000 faithful gave their lives for Christ here during the persecutions of 1866 to 1882. Continue to Solmoe, the birthplace of St. Andrew Kim Taegon, Korea’s first Catholic priest and the cradle of Korean Catholicism.

Travel to Naju, home of the miraculous weeping statue of the Blessed Mother, enshrined at the House of the Blessed Mother. Here, pilgrims are invited to pause, reflect, and entrust their intentions to Our Lady. At the Holy Mountain of Naju, walk prayerfully through the Stations of the Cross and visit the miraculous spring known as the Naju Water of Graces. Flowing with God’s healing power, this sacred site has become a source of countless blessings for pilgrims from around the world.

Proceed to the Mirinae Shrine, a sacred sanctuary that honors the deep roots of Korea’s Catholic faith. Within its peaceful grounds rest St. Andrew Kim Daegeon; his mother, Ursula; Bishop Jean-Joseph Ferréol, who ordained him; and Vincentius Lee Min-sik, the faithful layman who laid the saint to rest. This holy place invites quiet prayer, reflection, and a deeper encounter with the courage of Korea’s martyrs.

Continue to the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Namyang, also known as Rosary Hill. Once a site of persecution, it now stands as a radiant sanctuary of prayer. Walk the 20-decade Rosary Road, a tree-lined path where every step becomes a prayer and every bead draws you closer to Mary.

Conclude your pilgrimage in Seoul, where faith, culture, and modern life blend harmoniously. Visit Myeongdong Cathedral, the Cathedral Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and the seat of the Archbishop of Seoul. Enjoy free time in the lively Myeongdong district. Continue to Gyeongbokgung Palace for a meaningful Hanbok experience that connects you to Korea’s rich heritage. Finally, visit the Jeoldusan Martyrs’ Shrine, also known as “Beheading Mountain,” hallowed ground where many gave their lives during the 1866 Byeongin Persecution. Today, it stands as a powerful witness to faith, courage, and sacrifice.

Step into a pilgrimage where faith is strengthened and hearts are renewed. Join the Pilgrimage to the Catholic Shrines of South Korea with Our Lady of Naju, with a Pilgrimage Chaplain, from April 19 to 24, 2026. May Our Lady walk with you on this pilgrimage and lead you gently to her Son, Jesus.
