Korean Church holds concert urging death penalty abolition

A Catholic bishops’ committee in South Korea organized a concert to honor the spirit of martyrdom, while seeking to abolish the death penalty in the country.

The Korean Bishops' Conference’s subcommittee on the Abolition of the Death Penalty held a concert on Oct. 11, titled the John Lugalda Festival, in conjunction with the Jeonju Diocese's annual John the Baptist Festival.

The festival has been held in the Jeonju Diocese since 2001, marking the 200th anniversary of the Sinyu Persecution (1801).
