The South Korean Catholic bishops who traveled to Pyongyang last week have announced that the South Korean Catholic Church will send priests to Changchung Cathedral in Pyongyang to hold Easter Mass with North Korean Catholics.

Their Pyongyang counterpart also told the South Korean archbishop that “North Korean Catholics are well aware of Pope Francis and the path he has walked,” and casually mentioned that a papal visit to Pyongyang would be “wonderful," said the public relations office from the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea (CBCK).
