Remembering Servant of God Francis Hong Yong-ho 🕊️

Dear brothers and sisters,

I’d like to share the story of Servant of God Bishop Francis Hong Yong-ho, the first bishop of Pyongyang, North Korea.

Appointed in 1944, he was arrested by the regime in 1949 and never seen again. The Vatican never replaced him, keeping the see of Pyongyang vacant as a sign of solidarity with the persecuted Church.

In 2014, Pope Francis declared him a Servant of God, opening the path toward sainthood. He is widely believed to have died a martyr for the faith.

Though much about his final years remains unknown, his silent witness continues to inspire. Let us pray for his beatification and for all who still suffer for Christ in silence.

🙏 “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Revelation 2:10)

📌 Servant of God Francis Hong Yong-ho, pray for us.
