A Korean Witness to God’s Love
St. Andrew Kim was born in Korea, and left for seminary training before later returning to Korea to serve as a missionary, where he served generously and ultimately gave his life for the faith.
Today’s special guest podcaster checks off two firsts for our podcast – our first nun and Korean immigrant!
Born in Seoul, Korea, Sister Juana Teresa was baptized as Helen Chung. Even as a little child she knew that God had a unique and special plan for her life. Helen’s family immigrated to Paraguay, where she learned to speak Spanish, and later to Canada. After she received the sacrament of Confirmation and had a deep, personal encounter with God through the baptism in the Holy Spirit, Helen desired to respond to God’s great love discerning that she was called to be a religious Sister.
In October of 1992, she joined the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and received the name Sr. Juana Teresa. Becoming a Sister was a response of love, one that the Lord called her to, to learn to love. She is still learning that each day by following in the footsteps of Jesus amongst her community in Texas. Read more about Sr. Juana, with a link to her community, on our blog!
