Following the Dream:
Creating the ASC
Korean Foundation


In 1964, the Bishop of Seoul, Korea, found himself in the enviable position of having too many applicants for women’s religious orders. He appealed to the Adorers of the Blood of Christ in Wichita, Kansas. Would they consider accepting young Korean women into their congregation? The answer was, "Yes!" and the dream of Korean Adorers had begun.

 

Sisters Kim Seong Soon Anna and Lee Yung Ja Clara were among the first Korean young women to become Adorers. They began the foundation in 1977 and have helped to guide it to its present stage of developement.

The dream moved toward becoming a reality on July 19, 1965, when ten young Korean women (Teresa Choi, Cecilia Song, Lutgartha Jung, Gemma Kim, Gemma Park, Julianna Kim, Clara Lee, Julianna Song, Christina Pai, and Sabrina Kim) arrived in Wichita to begin the process of becoming Adorers of the Blood of Christ.
