St. Andrew, St. Paul and companions. 9.20.25. In this homily, I reflect on the incredible way Christianity first took root in Korea—not through priests, but through a layperson who carried catechism materials from China. From humble beginnings, the faith spread through reading and witness, even amid persecution. We remember the Korean martyrs, like St. Paul and St. Andrew, whose courage shows us that Christianity cannot be destroyed because it is Christ Himself who gives it life. Their testimony challenges us to choose Christ boldly, even in a world where faith is often mocked.
