Evangelizing Japan through Our Lady and Her Miraculous Medal
Seibo Maria Mission of Japan seeks to evangelize the people of Japan through the maternal mediation of the Immaculate Virgin Mary by distributing Miraculous Medals after the example of St. Maximilian Kolbe. Adopting their zeal for missions, we are under the patronage of the Immaculata, the first missionary, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Maximilian Kolbe.
