About Saint Francis Catholic International Parish in Seoul, South Korea:
In the year 1978 Fr. Paulisen O.F.M. started to celebrate mass and other sacraments for the foreigners in Seoul at the Franciscan friary. Masses continued to be held there until February 1984 when it was moved to the Korean Martyrs shrine in Choltusan. Then, in July 1985, Mass was moved again to the chapel of S. Francis of the Conventual Friary in Han Nam-dong .
In April 1987 Cardinal Stephen Kim asked the order of Friars Minor Conventuals to take charge of the Parish and from that year through an agreement with the Seoul Diocese the order is responsible to run the parish that was officially erected.
