| We shared a wonderful time of reunion with dear friends, the archbishop, priests, rscj, nuns, families, benefactors, graduates, and former maintenance staff. Empress Michiko came as one of the graduates! We enjoyed this friendly atmosphere, taking sushi, sandwiches and cakes all-hand made by our kind graduates. We had time to see the exhibition of photos of dear old missionaries or different moments in the history of the Society...

and were amazed to see the big round cake made by one of the graduates and decorated with our motto, Ubi caritas ibi Deus.
What we feel at this moment is that we have experienced a deep bond and cooperation with our graduates and the strength of powerful prayer and blessing from the countless people whom we have contacted and especially the missionaries who are in heaven now.
With deep joy, we shout “From today, let us look with a new eye at the world that surrounds us and work with greater faith and gratitude for the glory of the Heart of Jesus” ( from the speech of Sr. Koko Nagano)
