About the Ministry | Dayly Knightly Catholic & MIM Japan
Our Mission
We are a Catholic ministry dedicated to living and sharing the faith in Japan with courage, beauty, and conviction. Rooted in the charisms of St. Patrick, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and St. Francis Xavier, we seek to form disciples who live their daily vocation knightly through prayer, consecration, and evangelization.
Ministry Vision & Mission
St. Maximilian Kolbe
We are inspired by the total consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by St. Maximilian Kolbe, the heart of our Marian devotion and missionary spirit.
St. Francis Xavier
As the great missionary to Japan, St. Francis Xavier inspires our commitment to bring the Gospel to the Japanese people with courage and creativity.
St. Patrick
The missionary zeal and deep trust in God’s providence shown by St. Patrick guide our vision of living faith “daily and knightly.”
