An official app of the Catholic Church, designed to accompany Korean Catholics in their various needs: from reading a page of the Bible to downloading the baptismal certificate; from paying a donation directly from your mobile phone to being able to register with a QR code in the pilgrimage sites visited. These are the characteristics of Catholic Hashang, the application created by the National Conference of Catholic Priests for computerisation which made its debut on the occasion of Easter.

Activated in all the parishes of the archdiocese of Seoul, it will soon be extended to all the other dioceses as well. Thanks to this app, South Korean Catholics at Mass will be able to donate their offering not only in cash but also through a payment from a mobile phone which will be managed by an ad hoc system called Catholic Pay.

Other data related to the life of the Church can also be recorded through the app. Once accumulated and processed anonymously, they can become useful for statistical purposes for parishes, dioceses and the entire Korean Catholic Church. According to Fr Dominic Choi Jang Min, president of the NCCPC, the Korean Church is the first in the world to have an app of this type. Its name Catholic Hashang is derived from St Paul Chong Hashang, one of the Korean martyrs who at the beginning of the 19th century was very active in trying to organise the life of the Catholic community even at the time of persecution.
