South Korea: English Catholic Mass

Church goers normally go to Myeongdong Cathedral for mass, since it is easily accessible, known to many tourists, located in shopping area, visible on blogs and websites.

Last February 2014, I’ve been to Yakhyeon Church, but there is no formal mass and no English mass.

This October 2014, we have visited Yeoksam Catholic Church - Roman Catholic.

Yeoksam Catholic Church - Roman Catholic
Where: Yeoksam-dong 722-9, Kangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea 02-553-0801. 
How to go there: Line #2 (green line) Yeoksam Station, Exit 1
