Saint Andrew Kim Taegon generally referred to as Saint Andrew Kim Taegon in English, was the first Korean-born Catholic priest and is the patron saint of Korea, being canonized and made a Saint with 120+ others on 6th May, 1984. In the late 18th cen-tury, Roman Catholicism began to take root slowly in Korea and was introduced by scholars who vis-ited China and brought back Western books trans-lated into Chinese. In 1836 Korea saw its first conse-crated missionaries arrive, only to find out that the people there were already practicing Korean Catho-lics.

Matthew the Apostle was, according to the Christian Bible, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to Christian tradition, one of the four Evangelists.

Pope Cornelius was the Bishop of Rome. He was pope during and following a period of persecution of the church and a schism oc-curred over how repentant church members who had practiced pagan sacrifices to pro-tect themselves could be readmitted to the church.

Exciting news! This year, Youth Ministry will be running two youth programs. LIFE TEEN High School Youth Ministry (9th-12th grade) every Sunday and EDGE middle school Youth Ministry

(6th-8th grade) on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month Youth@staugustinenewcity.org | 845-634-8462
