On\u00a0November 8, 2025<\/strong>, the Piarist community joyfully celebrated the\u00a0priestly ordination<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Kim Jaeyong Sch.P., Truong Quoc Cuong Sch.P., and Vu Duc Hung Sch.P.<\/strong>\u00a0The solemn celebration took place at\u00a0Nodamachi Catholic Church<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Fukushima Ken, Japan<\/strong>, a parish rich in faith and history.<\/p>\n

The ordination Mass was\u00a0presided over by His Excellency Rt. Rev. Oscar Gacutan, CICM, D.D.<\/strong>, Bishop of Sendai. With deep pastoral warmth, Bishop Gacutan conferred the sacred order of priesthood upon the three candidates, reminding them of the self-giving love of Christ and the mission of service entrusted to every priest.<\/p>\n

The celebration was graced by the presence of\u00a0Fr. General Carles Gil l Sch.P.<\/strong>, who traveled to Japan for this significant occasion, as well as\u00a0Fr. Miguel Artola Otamendi Sch.P., Provincial of the Asia Pacific Province<\/strong>. A large delegation of\u00a0Piarist Fathers of the province from the Philippines, Vietnam, and Japan<\/strong>\u00a0also joined the celebration, expressing the unity and missionary spirit of the Order across the region.<\/p>\n

This ordination coincided meaningfully with the\u00a075th anniversary of the Piarist presence in Japan<\/strong>, adding historical depth and spiritual significance to the event. The faithful, benefactors, collaborators, and friends of the Piarist mission gathered in gratitude for the Lord\u2019s enduring guidance since the arrival of the first Piarists in Japan, and in hopeful expectation for the future of the mission.<\/p>\n

During the celebration, the newly ordained priests expressed their heartfelt gratitude to God, to their formators, to the Piarist communities that shaped their vocations, and to all who accompanied them on their journey. Their families\u2014some present and others joining through spiritual closeness\u2014were lovingly acknowledged.<\/p>\n

The liturgy was beautifully animated by the local communities of \u00a0Nodamachi parish and Matsukicho parish and visiting Piarist sisters. After the Mass, a reception was held where the faithful offered their congratulations and shared joy with the new priests.<\/p>\n

The ordination of Fathers\u00a0Kim Jaeyong<\/strong>,\u00a0Truong Quoc Cuong<\/strong>, and\u00a0Vu Duc Hung<\/strong>\u00a0stands as a moment of deep grace for the Piarist Order in Japan and the Asia Pacific region. As the Piarists commemorate\u00a075 years of educational and pastoral mission in Japan<\/strong>, the gift of these new priests strengthens the commitment to continue serving children and young people, especially the poor, according to the charism of\u00a0St.\u00a0Joseph Calasanz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
