How can you encourage faith safely?
A parish circle of helpers
Draw a circle with Jesus at the center. Around it draw a family, a teacher, a priest, and another parish helper. Choose one person to thank and one safe way to participate.
A note for parents and teachers
Includes imprisonment and martyrdom. The retelling compresses different lives and dates; the guide explains that the martyrs did not all die together and encourages respectful understanding of Korean history.
The video compresses different lives and persecutions into one sequence; the 103 canonized martyrs did not all die together. Use the correct names Andrew Kim Taegon and Paul Chong Hasang despite caption variations. Respect Korean culture and never turn witnessing to faith into seeking danger.
Pray together
Jesus, strengthen communities who face persecution. Help our families, priests, and parish helpers share your love. Holy Korean Martyrs, pray for us. Amen.
