Our layclaretians comunities in Japan.

We have two communities in Japan: "Barbastro Martyrs" in Hirakata and the layclaretians from Imaichi.

We have received the first news from our brother Tomoaki Naganawa at Hirakata. In their zone (near Osaka) the earthquake and the tsunami have had a little impact. It seems that the community of Imaichi has had no direct damage, but this is not confirmed yet. Imaichi is about 250 kms from the epicenter and about 170 km from Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Although they have been not directly affected, Mr. Naganawa tell us that it has been a great shock for the Japaneses. He says it may have been about 10,000 people missing, and anywhere there are people who dosen´t know any notice about the situation of some member of their family
