On April 21, 2025, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88, leaving behind a profound legacy of compassion, humility, and a powerful connection with the people of Japan. In this video, we explore the deep relationship Pope Francis fostered with Japan—rooted in centuries of history dating back to St. Francis Xavier’s arrival in 1549.

From his long-standing dream of becoming a missionary in Japan to his historic visit in 2019, Pope Francis showed unwavering support for peace, nuclear disarmament, and protection of all life. During his trip to Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and Tokyo, he honored the resilience of Japanese Catholics, listened to atomic bomb survivors, and called for an end to nuclear weapons.

Pope Francis’s bond with Japan went beyond faith—it was built on shared values of perseverance, respect for life, and hope in the face of adversity. His visit reignited a long friendship between the Vatican and Japan, a relationship that has withstood centuries of persecution, war, and cultural shifts.

Join us as we honor Pope Francis’s incredible journey, his impact on Japanese society, and how he carried forward a legacy of compassion, justice, and peace that began nearly 500 years ago.
