A Booklet for Pilgrimage in Korea

     At Daejeon Diocesan Office on February 23, 2011, the Subcommittee for Pilgrimages and Shrines under the CBCK Committee for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Foreign Residents Living in Korea (President: Most Rev. Lazzaro You Heung-sik) held the second meeting of priests in charge of pilgrimage in Korea to draw up detailed plans for publishing a booklet introducing about 130 shrines in Korea.

     The booklet is going to include a brief introduction to the shrines in each diocese, a map for pilgrimages on foot, a time schedule for Masses, confessions, and retreats. 

    Rev. Andrea Heo Yoon-jin, Secretary of the committee, said that the booklet will be very useful for the faithful who are interested in domestic pilgrimage.

     Bishop You said that shrines are special assets and treasures for our Church, so the booklet will be a precious guide.
