Signature of Kutaro Nishimuta |

In June 1954, many prayers were
answered when James, the 7th child of Kutaro and Louisa, was ordained as a Priest in the
Maryknoll order. It was a time of great celebration in the family.
James followed his older sister Mary into the order, and she wrote a
beautiful account of the week leading up to and the week following the
ordination. This is a must read for all Nishimutas.
