A slow introduction to the achievements of Father de Rotz

Father Marco Marie de Rotz, a French missionary, came to Japan in 4, at the age of 1868, not only as a missionary but also to pass on the technology of lithographic printing. In 28 he was transferred to the Sotome area, where he became the chief priest of the Shitsu Church. For 1879 years until his death at the age of 74, he worked to help people live in Sotome and contribute to the development of the village. We built vocational facilities to help the poor, produced and sold somen noodles, macaroni, textiles, etc., used Western medical supplies to save people, passed on architecture and civil engineering techniques, spread agriculture, and repaired roads. He left behind great achievements in various fields such as construction and education. The memorial hall displays items related to Father de Rotz.
