WHAT NEVER DIES. The lives of Midori and Takashi Nagai.

In the political and cultural turmoil of early 20th century Japan, Dr Takashi Nagai's intellectual and spiritual journey is guided by his restless heart and lively reason. Through the encounter with Midori Moriyama and her discreet witness of authentic faith, Takashi will find a home in the Catholic community of Nagasaki, forged by centuries of persecutions, and the grace to embrace sacrifice in the midst of the atomic wasteland.

The evening will begin at 7 PM in Arrupe Hall with a talk by Maria and Martin Gross, members of the "Friends of Takashi and Midori Nagai" committee - founded in 2021 to promote their Cause of Beatification. After the talk, a painting by artist Ruben Ferreira and the panels of an exhibition on the lives of the two Servants of God will be on display. The exhibition will remain available for viewing until the end of September

Kolkata Art Exhibition

We are delighted to welcome back artist Antonia Covarrubias for her new exhibition ‘Kolkata’, which aims to showcase a key aspect of the "City of Joy"—as described by author Dominique Lapierre — the beauty that led Mother Teresa to love the people, the nature and the streets of Calcutta, where even in the midst of extreme suffering, one can also find the love of God shared with great generosity and joy.

The exhibition is on the ground floor at 114 Mount Street (M-F 10.30-18.30, Sat Sun 10.00-15.00) until 31 July.
