THANK YOU Priyo –MSC Regional Superior in Japan for nine years.

On behalf of the Australian Province, we would like to thank Priyo so much for his tireless leadership as the Regional Superior of Japan. He has been the Regional leader for well over nine years and during that time he has shown extraordinary stewardship of the Region – for this we are very grateful.

In the recent consultation with all members in the Japan Region it was noted with great appreciation Priyo’s commitment to, and his tremendous effort in, bringing together members of the community and setting the Region’s direction for the future of the MSCs in Japan. 

It is with great confidence that with Priyo’s experience and support and encouragement he will guide and mentor Fr Bernardus Tethool msc, who we are also proud to advise as the new Regional Superior of Japan. With both these men and the whole MSC Japan Region we are certain that together, as one, they will all reach out to the people in Japan to further strengthen our MSC mission.

As Provincial, I would like to personally thank Priyo for his openness, honesty, frankness, and friendship over our time together in leadership. I have been overwhelmed by the work, the mission that has happened in the past and is still alive and happening today – the tireless works that have and are continuing; parish ministry and parish buildings, outreach to migrants, child minding and early child development education, mission and evangelisation – makes us all very proud, as it should to Priyo, as he looks back over his nine plus years as the Regional Superior… to me it’s amazing to see – so thank you.
