wHY KINTSUBAN?

In the face of adversities, Kintsuba stands out as the first Japanese priest in the Order of Saint Augustine. His life and sacrifice for the love of Christ is a powerful symbol of his unwavering faith.


His last words: “Faith in Christ lasts forever," and " I am going to my death because I love Jesus and believe in Him." Quite stirring, isn't it? These words aren't just statements; they're powerful declarations of genuine conviction of an unshakeable faith. 


Kintsuban. is more than a newsletter; it's our story, a glimpse into our relentless pursuit of Augustinian ideals inspired by Blessed Thomas Kintsuba Jihyoe.


Join us on this journey of faith and courage. The 'Kintsuban' is your ticket to inspiration and a snapshot of our novitiate adventure!

Our vision is to embody the Augustinian way of restless search for truth as one community that sustains by love, freedom, interiority and humility toward a service and prayer-oriented novices.
