Hello! Welcome to Eneris World
In the municipal town of Bocaue, in Bulacan Province in the Philippines, just north of Manila, a captivating shrine was built to honor St. Andrew Kim Taegon (김대건 안드레아), the first Roman Catholic priest and patron saint of Korea who once lived there in the Philippines as a seminarian to study the Dominican sacrament in the early mid-1800s. However, who is Kim Taegon?
Born as a member of the upper class yangban (양반) elite, Kim Taegon was a seminarian during Joseon times when there was strict persecution of all types of Christians and when the administering of Roman Catholic rites was not allowed.
St. Andrew Kim Taegon is believed to have stayed in Bocaue from 1830 to 1840. He later left for Macau where he was ordained as a priest in the year 1845. Destined to be the first Korea-born Roman Catholic priest, and prompted by his strong faith in God, Kim Taegon succeeded in returning to Joseon Korea the same year in which he led a group of missionaries there. Because of his priestly practice, and because the Joseon state was based primarily on Confucianism and prohibited other religions, he was arrested for 13 months after his ordination and was imprisoned in Seoul near the Han River, where he was condemned as a traitor to Korea and was sentenced to death by the sword.
