In 1983, about 10 Catholic Korean families who had been regular attendants at Blessed Sacrament Church, asked Fr. McDonald to take over their spiritual care. The Korean community would contribute with their choir to make the liturgy a livelier one. A bond of love between the community and Fr. McDonald was created, and this bond is still kept today. On October 16th of 1984, the Archdiocese of Ottawa officially accepted the Catholic Korean Community as an entity ¡°sui generis¡± with certain juridical autonomy. Rev. Fathers Donald Macdonald, Joseph O¡¯Donnel and Vincent Pereira continued taking care of the spiritual needs of the community and assured the community¡¯s connection to the diocesan community. On July 13th of 1987, the community got from Revenue Canada the status of charitable organisation and was given its particular registration number in order to accept donations. During this period, new people joined in helping the Catholic Korean Community, such as Fr. Vincent Pereira, MSG. David Corkery, Fr. Laslie Laszlo, Fr. Kim Kee Hong as well as Sr. Peggy Ramsden. It was on February of 1995 that the Archdiocese of Ottawa officially ¡°baptised¡± the community with the title of ¡°Ottawa Korean Catholic Community of Holy Korean Martyrs¡±. Fr. Kim Jin Hyung(John) was now the principal responsible of the community. With Fr. Kim, the community ceased to worship at Blessed Sacrament church. The community wished to worship in their own language. After a period of wandering around, and since Fr. Kim had left Ottawa to pursue higher studies in Rome, Fr. Antonio Ostan, OMI, assisted by Sr. Loraine Rival, gathered the community and started saying mass at the gym at Deschatelets, an Oblate Residence. This was February of 1996. Due to some difficulties in using the space, Fr. Antonio had to take the community to the chapel of Saint Paul University until finally in November of 1996, Fr. Gahegan welcome the community at Saint Theresa¡¯s. During this time the community grew considerably, and Fr. Antonio encouraged different groups to begin their activities: the Bible study group, the Legion of Mary and the Cursillo movement among others. In January 1999 the Archbishop appointed Fr. Antonio Egiguren OFM, a student at Saint Paul¡¯s and a former missionary in Korea who could speak the language, to be the community¡¯s new spiritual servant. In these later years since 1999 the community experienced an unprecedented growth of new Korean families joining the high tech industry of Ottawa. In June 23, and due to human and pastoral needs for re-organising of resources, the Archdiocese of Ottawa decided to give the Catholic Korean community the Christ Roi church, site at Argyle, with the new pious advocation of ¡°Holy Korean Martyrs". |
