EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the progress of St. Mary's Hospital in Omori, a district located in the south of Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan, during the early 1910s. The image showcases three distinct structures that were integral parts of the Catholic mission in this area: the Sisters' Quarters (left), the Priests' House (right), and the Church under construction (front). The Sisters' Quarters, a two-story building, housed the religious sisters who dedicated their lives to caring for the sick and needy. The Sisters played a vital role in providing medical assistance and nursing services to the local community, contributing significantly to the hospital's success. To the right of the Sisters' Quarters stands the Priests' House, which served as the residence for the Catholic priests who oversaw the spiritual well-being of the congregation and the hospital. The priests played an essential role in the spiritual care of the patients and the community, offering solace and guidance during difficult times. At the heart of the scene is the Church, still under construction. The church was the spiritual center of the community, where people gathered for Mass, prayer, and religious education. The construction of the church signified the growing influence of Christianity in Japan and the commitment of the Catholic mission to serve the spiritual and physical needs of the people in Omori. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insight into the history of St. Mary's Hospital and the role it played in the lives of the people in Omori during the early 1910s. The Sisters' Quarters, Priests' House, and Church stand as testament to the enduring legacy of the Catholic mission in this district of Tokyo.
