Fr.Ebe who has turned 54 in January is a native of Niigata. Since he was baptized during his college days in Tokyo, he had joined Tokyo archdiocese as a seminarian and later has been ordained priest for the archdiocese. Archbishop of Tokyo was so kind to second Fr.Ebe to help Niigata diocese which has only 16 diocesan priests and always in need for priests. Welcome Fr.Ebe.
