YEAR 2022
MAY 2022
Every year, on the first weekend of May, the faithful from Japan, under the leadership of Fr. Thomas Onoda, organise a Marian conference and a pilgrimage to the place of Our Lady’s visitation in Akita. As always, the perfectly prepared conference brings together people of many nationalities. Lectures on Our Lady are a good opportunity to encourage the faithful to zealously serve the Immaculata. Every year Fr. Tomasz Onoda explains to the faithful coming to Akita the idea and the aim of the Militia Immaculatæ, and on the last day of the pilgrimage he organises the ceremony
of acceptance into the M.I. This year the Militia Immaculatæ was enriched by 7 Knights of different nationalities.
YEAR 2020
At the end of the pilgrimage to Akita (Japan) Fr. Thomas Onoda enrolled 14 new Knights into the Militia Immaculatæ, including several foreigners from outside Japan. Exceptionally, the pilgrimage took place this year in August. The date of the pilgrimage 14 new Knights in Japan was scheduled, as always, for the month of May, but could not take place because of the “lockclose spacedown”. However, all was not lost by the change. The date was moved to August, which, by way of compensation, is also the month dedicated to the Immaculate.
