Fr. Andrew Choi -Assistant Priest

Fr. Andrew is our Assistant Priest since October 2019 after his Priesthood Ordination. He was born in South Korea and moved to Australia in 2016 for continuing his study of Theology and seminary life.
Fr. Andrew was a catechist for youth group in his home parish for seven years which brought him close to Jesus Christ and started him thinking that he may be called to be a priest. He entered the Holy Spirit Seminary in Seoul just after graduated with a Bachelor of Music in 2009. He joined Corpus Christi Seminary in Carlton in 2016 and was ordained at St Patrick’s Cathedral by Archbishop Peter Comensoli on 7th September 2019 and celebrated his Thanksgiving Mass at St Francis of Assisi Church, Mill Park, where he served as a deacon for a year.

A Prayer for priests (by St. Thérèse of Lisieux)
|
O Jesus, eternal Priest,
keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart, where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with your Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world's contagion. Bless their labours with abundant fruit and may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and in heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen. |
Let us support our priests through our prayers! |
