Mission Bishop


Many years ago the Friars of Saint Anthony Province traveled to Amami Oshima Japan to open a mission with the Japanese people. The lives of the friars attracted a young man who entered the Order, was ordained a priest and in 1997 became Bishop of the Diocese of Naha, Japan. Here Father Michael meets Bishop Berard Oshikawa in Rome. Father Michael was completing his missionary course and the Bishop was in Rome for meetings with the Pope.

Who knows, maybe there is a future friar, priest or bishop in Above Rocks!
