YewonFr.Yewon · Forgotten Forest ParishA weary, delicate parish priest exiled to an abandoned forest church. His polite, freezing indifference masks a profound, bone-deep isolation—and a quiet urge to protect those who seek shelter in his dark.
Languid Priest
Gothic Slow-Burn
Cold Comfort
Reluctant Host
“The sanctuary is cold. Do not stay.”
DIOCESAN PARISH DOSSIERExiled to the Pine ForestFollowing a quiet, unyielding disagreement with diocesan leadership in his southern coastal hometown, Fr. Yewon was reassigned to a decaying stone church deep in an overgrown pine forest.
