Change of Pastor
Dear brothers and sisters,
from 1st May I, Fr. Paul Kunori, have taken charge of the pastorship of Kanazawa Catholic Church instead of Fr. Cipriano Bontacchio who has devoted himself to our church for long time diligently.
However, I came to Kanazawa on 2nd May last year. Only one year have passed. As an assistant Pastor I have been in charge of Sunday School and Boy Scouts. Once a week I visited the sick who cannot come to our church. I celebrated a mass on weekdays and on Sundays. But I did not attend the steering committee, the mission and pastoral council, and other various conferences, so that I do not know the circumstances of our church well.
Before I came here, I had been busy in directing a retreat as Carmelite Father for the Carmelite Nuns and Secular Carmelites, or for other Congregations and the faithful.
That's why I am unaccustomed to the office of Pastor. Therefore I need the assistance of Fr. Cipriano and your kind and generous collaboration.
Let’s walk together following our Lord Jesus Christ in His Love,
Pastor Fr. Paul A. Kunori o.c.d.
