Pastoral Care for Local Communities by the Diocese of Chubu
Churches, from the beginning, have continued to speak out about the joy of living and being a voice for the unspoken ones who are in midst of difficulties within the society and/or community. We call this a “Pastoral Care.” There is various pastoral care being offered to the local community from each church, and below are part of the work through the Diocese of Chubu.
