KOREA: The Society of St. Francis de Sales in Korea this year dedicated its Jan. 8-16 annual Don Bosco basketball competition to commemorate the first death anniversary of Salesian Father John Lee Tae-seok. “This year, we aimed to raise funds for children in Sudan,” said Salesian Father Gabriel Oh Yun-taeg. Father John Lee Tae-seok had served the sick, poor and children in Sudan for nine years. Each year the basketball competition raises funds for poor children in and outside of Korea. About 600 youths participated in this year’s games. KO12888.1637

Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
