Oleander Initiative / PAX Christi

The peace education program for PAX Christi took place from March 7 to 12, 2024, with 11 Catholic social activists.

The program included visits to Nagarekawa Church and the Jesuit Monastery in Nagatsuka, where we learned about the history of the city of Hiroshima from a religious perspective. In cooperation with the Hiroshima Noborimachi Church and the A-bomb survivors’ organizations in Hiroshima, a time for a peace gathering was planned, which deepened exchanges between the program participants and the people of Hiroshima.
