Pastoral team
Father Eric Bautista De Guzman
Hello everyone. I am Fr. Eric, priest of the Archdiocese of Osaka-Takamatsu Archdiocese and a native of the Philippines. In our parish, besides officiating the Holy Mass and administering other sacraments, we also offer a catechism classes on faith, using the “Catechism of the Catholic Church Compedium” as our text. In the parish, I also am involved with the Legion of Mary (a lay organization for promoting the Marian devotion), the “Ukon To Ayumu Kai/Walking With Ukon” (a lay organization recognized by the archdiocese to promote the canonization efforts of Blessed Justo Takayama Ukon) and Stella Maris (pastoral care for seafarers). Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Father Akabae
I am Father Akabae, I work as a collaborating priest of the Block of Umeda (Umeda and Sekime Church) since April 2016.
I belong to the Society of Saint Paul. It has been over 40 years since I was ordained as a priest. I have been involved in teaching middle and high school students; also, in the edition of newspapers and magazines. But I recognize that being able to collaborate pastorally here, gives me great joy.
I look forward to working and serving all of you.
