Korean Catholic Church

The Korean Catholic Church is a vibrant Christian community rooted in the Catholic faith, with its own unique cultural expressions and historical development. It originated in the late 18th century, facing early persecution but growing steadily. Today, it is one of the largest Catholic populations in Asia, known for active social engagement, vibrant liturgy, and a strong sense of community. The Church plays a significant role in education, charity, and social issues in Korea, led by a bishop and collaborating with the global Catholic Church. It reflects a harmony of traditional Catholic doctrine and Korean cultural identity.
