Martyrs · mission · South Korea
Begin with Seoul’s recognized route, then journey outward to St. Andrew Kim Taegŏn’s birthplace and tomb, mountain refuges, early formation places and execution grounds transformed into prayer.
The Seoul Catholic Pilgrimage remains its own Vatican-recognized route. Catholic Korea is the wider national gateway, using the Korean bishops’ directory without pretending the destinations form one continuous trail.
Beyond the capital
These places make sense as regional journeys through Chungcheong, Gyeonggi and Jeolla rather than as one rushed national itinerary.
Birthplace, execution landscape and tomb of Korea’s first native priest.
Mountain communities, early formation and the dangerous return of Korea’s first priest.
Coastal and city martyr sites transformed into Catholic shrines.
Cheonjinam, Namyang, and Daegu widen the story beyond one martyr itinerary and one capital.
The complete gateway
Plan prayerfully
A natural first journey links Solmoe, Haemi and Mirinae around St. Andrew Kim Taegŏn and the Church that carried his witness. Use the national directory for current access and Korean-language details.
