After we left Kurosaki, we went to Shitsu Catholic Church.
History
Father de Rotz devoted himself not only to upgrading the livelihood of
local residents, but also to educating mothers and daughters, who play
important roles in raising children. He provided religious education in
plain words, and laid the foundation for nurturing more priests and
religious in this district than in any other place in Japan. Father de
Rotz was in charge of all the design and construction work of Shitsu
Church, which was enlarged twice. As with Oura Cathedral, which has been
designated a national treasure, Shitsu Church was built by covering
brick walls with mortar. The Father de Rotz Memorial Hall, located near
the church, stores documents related to the church design.Source:Shitsu Church on Nagasaki Prefecture Official site
