This paper represents the first part of a study on the activities and achievements of Christian Churches in Nagasaki in the Meiji-Period. The main focus here in on Catholicism. Protestantism will be dealt with in Part 2, which will be in Kwassui Bulletin 47 (to appear). Right after the opening of Japan to the world, a Catholic Church was built in Nagasaki foreign settlement (1865). It brought the Catholic restoration among hidden Christians who had long awaited missionaries revisiting Japan. Thus, Nagasaki became the center of Catholicism in Japan at the time and took a leading role in the fields such as education and social work as well as mission work. This paper brings to light these contributions of Catholicism in Nagasaki to Japanese society at the dawn of the new era.
