Saint Andrew Kim Taegon (21 August 1821 – 16 September 1846), generally referred to as Saint Andrew Kim in English, was the first Korean-born Catholic priest and is the patron saint of Korea, being canonized and made a saint with over 102 others on 6 May 1984. In the late 18th century, Roman Catholicism began to take root slowly in Korea and was introduced by scholars who visited China and brought back Western books translated into Chinese. In 1836 Korea saw its first consecrated missionaries (members of the Paris Foreign Missions Society) arrive, only to find out that the people there were already practicing Korean Catholics.
