In September 2009, Japan Province was blessed by the arrival of three young missionaries.
They are bros. Armando Romero (Filipino), Frederic Khonde Ntoto (Congolese) and Justin Lukusa Mende (Congolese). After graduting from Maryhill School of Theology (MST) in Manila, they came as interns to do their 3 year-internship program in the country. At the moment, they live in Kongo Formation Community (c/o Kongo Catholic Church) while doing their Japanese Language Study in Osaka.
Frederic, Armando, Harnoko and Justin.

Everytime we hear the word, HIROSHIMA, one's mind certainly goes to the
memory of atomic bom. Indeed, at the end of WW II, Hiroshima and Nagasaki
were the places, a living memoir of how horrible the impact of the atomic
bom in human history. In the silhouette above is a standing monument called
the bomb-dome. Hiroshima has become a living monument for the world to
always seek PEACE on earth.
