Mass Reflections
Father Zach was telling us that Saint Andrew Tae-gon was the first native Korean to become a priest. Saint Andrew went to Korea fully knowing the danger. He was killed because the Koreans were suspicious of what he was doing. He died spreading the Word of God. Why? Simply because of love.
Marlons, 6A
In today’s homily, Father Zach told us about our saint of the day, Andrew Tae-gon, and his companions. He was a martyr, being put to death for teaching people of his faith. Saint Andrew was the first Korean native to be ordained as a priest and came back to his homeland, knowing for a fact that he would die. The reason he came back was simply love. Love for God and his country, because no sacrifice is too great for the sake of love.

Father Zach said today in Mass that Andrew Tae-gon was living and serving in Korea. He was the first native Korean to become a priest. He was given a choice to go wherever he wanted to go. He used it to go back to Korea even though he knew he was going to die. He was young and sacrificed his life for his people and especially for god and Jesus. That is love right there.
