I have no doubt you have great intention of bringing young korean
people together but it has not been working, language barrier being on
the top of the list. Your idea that korean must be used to feel korean
is outdated and unrealistic.
I understand Korean as well as any for someone that grew up in the
states from a young age & I find our English mass tough. Kids and
folks that have lesser Korean than I do find our mass frustrating and
TORTUROUS.
If you don't believe me, hold a Korean test to see just how much they
understand.
Of course, while you decided to close the Korean school which you tell
us is so important, many of us send our kids to some Baptist church
for korean school because we had no where else to send the kids.

I get this sense that you think only Korean speaking folks are proud
of their heritage but most Italian churches serve mass in English and
yet they are very proud of their heritage.I highly suggest you attend
some of these churches to see exactly what language is used at these
churches with proud heritages.

To me, I drive my 40minutes to church not to exercise the korean
language for my family but to enjoy mass with fellow koreans.
I believe every week especially for less faithful parish members who
still attend church, the message is ever more important and yet that's
difficult to find due to language barrier.

If hearts being open is so important, I suggest you start with
yourself and do some introspection on how people can approach you with
improvements. Starting with my experience among others, I just have
not heard positive feedback on any suggestions made to you. My wife
should not attend an English mass and feel that she has not gotten
anything out of mass because she didn't understand any Korean. To me
that makes no sense.

By all means, if you feel there's a better way starting with me to
provide improvement suggestions, I will follow exactly as you
instruct. But especially reading your response to my suggestion and
your reaction at church is extremely disturbing. With this suggestion,
I have really found the underlying issue, I think the parish members
have let you feel as if you own the church and you alone make
decisions based on your beliefs on behalf of the church including
language used. Otherwise, you quietly chase away folks that have
complaints by either ignoring them or not providing a place for them.

As stated previously, I have no intention of attending church for my
generation alone, there must be a place where our kids can stand in
their generation. And you can bet they will have less Korean in hand
and you alone do not have the decision power on how the parish will
handle English mass as Konglish mass. And I have not even really
mentioned the local folks that attend the mass on how they feel.
Almost like inviting them to mass but letting them know they are not
welcome through our language.

Inconsistent mass times are also puzzling. I am sure countless number
of local folks stopped attending our church because they are confused
on when we really have English, if we can call it that.

Most of all, I started this because I got this sense that the English
speaking people at our church is not that important, the "they will
understand" attitude. Otherwise, if you invite someone to the English
mass, they should know you better speak in English. I will not stand
to be disrespected because I want English to be used in English Mass
and English to be used when English is majority even in a Korean mass.
Further, this is the very reason why Sister provides class in Korean
where she states parents must attend yet she doesn't feel necessary to
bring translated material even though over 80% are predominant English
speaking. Because they have watched you have complete disrespect for
the English speaking. You surely must know that I do not pay my hard
earned money to our church so I can be disrespected and digress
spiritually.
