The archbishop of Tokyo began as a volunteer at the Bukavu Refugee Camp in Bukavu, then Zaire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He subsequently held various positions of responsibility in the charitable arm of the Church as Executive Director of Caritas Japan from 1999 to 2004 and President of Caritas Japan from 2007 to 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was also President of Caritas Asia from 2011 to 2019, a member of the Executive Committee of Caritas Internationalis from 1999 to 2004 and a member of the Council of Representatives from 2011 to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just yesterday, the Japanese addressed the 400 Caritas delegates from all over the world gathered in Rome these days, pointing out that \"Caritas must be in the front line to welcome, accompany, serve and defend the poor and vulnerable\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brief biography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarcisio Isao Kikuchi was born in Iwate on November 1, 1958. He was professed in the Divine Word Missionaries in March 1985, before his ordination to the priesthood on March 15, 1986. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After ordination, he served as a missionary in Ghana, Africa, where he was a parish priest in a rural parish for 8 years. He was appointed bishop of Niigata in 2004 and, in 2017, Pope Francis appointed him Archbishop of Tokyo. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La 22\u00aa Asamblea General de Caritas Internationalis que se desarrolla desde el 11 al 16 de mayo de 2023, ha elegido al arzobispo Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi como nuevo Presidente de Caritas Internationalis para los pr\u00f3ximos cuatro a\u00f1os.
