Unfortunately, also in Japan the Covid19 epidemic continues to restrict our activities, especially as far as groups and meetings are concerned.  Shinmeizan shares this situation.  On the contrary, and perhaps as consequence of it, the activity on line has greatly increased.

 For example, the website of the Pontifical Missionary Works and that of Terra e Missione  (an on line magazine dealing with missionary activity and holistic ecology edited by the joint  staff of ten different missionary institutes) have asked Sr. Maria De Giorgi to contribute with interviews and articles which can be found at the following links.

Fr. Franco has been asked to participate with a message in the 96^th convention on mission, held by his diocese of origin (Bergamo, Italy), which will be held on February 27-28.
