The Archdiocese of Tokyo has announced that Father. John Mary Michael Tadashi Furuichi (Pastor of Kitamachi Catholic Church) will be responsible for the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass.
Fr. Jerome, who is currently celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass for Una Voce Japan, will continue to serve as celebrant until July of this year. From August onward, Fr. Furuichi is expected to succeed him.
The frequency of the Mass will remain the same as before, once a month.
The Mass will be celebrated in rotation among three churches — Kanda Church, Tsukiji Church, and Koenji Church — whose communities kindly make their churches available for this purpose.
As before, please contact Una Voce Japan for the schedule of the Traditional Latin Mass.
We give thanks for this grace and ask for your prayers for Fr. Furuichi, who will undertake this ministry, as well as for the communities of Kanda Church, Tsukiji Church, and Koenji Church, which continue to graciously allow the use of their churches for the Traditional Latin Mass.
