75th anniversary of Korean War

Courtney Mares posts on the CNA about prayers for peace and unity on the anniversary of the war

"Korean Catholics marked the 75th anniversary of the start of the Korean War with a novena of prayers and Masses offered for peace and reconciliation on the divided peninsula — where the war never formally ended. 

More than 1,000 Catholics gathered for a special Mass at Myeongdong Cathedral in Seoul on the Sunday before the June 25 anniversary. The liturgy was led by Archbishop Peter Chung Soon-taick, the archbishop of Seoul and apostolic administrator of Pyongyang."
