The Sto. Cristo and St. Andrew Kim Taegon Parish (English-Korean:산토 크리스토 와 산 김대건 의 교구) (Korean-English:Sto. Cristo and St. Andrew Kim Taegon Parish) is a parish was that founded by a Korean catholic saint, Andrew Kim Taegon. ==History== It was barely six years ago when the construction of the church building began. Now, Bocaue’s new church building is rising fast with the help of the community. The church, to be dedicated to a Korean saint, will rise in the barangay of Lolomboy in Bocaue, Bulacan, a town known for its religiosity. Saint Andrew Kim-Taegon is the first Korean-born Catholic priest who stayed in the Philippines in the early 18th century. During the Joseon Dynasty wheb Christianity was suppressed and many Christians were persecuted, Kim-Taegon, who at that time was still a seminarian, moved from his homeland to Lolomboy to continue his study. Fr. Vic Robles of Sto. Cristo and St. Andrew Kim – Taegon Parish, said the saint’s diary revealed that he stayed in aplace called “Hacienda de Lolomboy” owned by the Dominican friars from 1830s to 1841. The saint described it as a “quiet place of prayer and conducive for retreats.” Robles said Kim -Taegon busied himself with studies with the Dominicans while in Lolomboy until he left for China where he was ordained a deacon in 1844 and became a priest the next year. He returned to Korea in October 1845 leading a group of French missionaries where he started his mission to evangelize. For this, he was arrested and sent to prison in Seoul, where he was charged as a traitor and tagged the ringleader of a heretical sect. He was sentenced to death and was beheaded on Sept. 16, 1846. Kim -Taegon was beatified by Pope Pius XI in 1925, and canonized by Pope John Paul II in May 1984. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sto.
