A group of Catholics from South Korea made a"pilgrimage of reconciliation and peace" and paid visits to several cities in Japan that hold memorial sites related to the Japanese occupation and persecution of Koreans.
During the trip, they visited various memorial sites in the cities of Fukuoka, Yamaguchi, and Hiroshima. They prayed together and paid tribute to those who lost their lives due to oppression. The pilgrims paid visits to Dunggul Village, a slum where Koreans who failed to return to Korea after the end of the Japanese occupation lived together. They also visited Kanmon Ferry Dock in Fukuoka which was used to bring Korean slave laborers to work in Japanese factories and mines.
On April 27, the group participated in a special Mass for peace and reconciliation at the cathedral of Hiroshima diocese. He then expressed solidarity for peace, saying, “I will join the prayer for peace on the Korean Peninsula every evening at nine.”
