From 1947 to 1954, the Province collaborated with the Provinces of Canada and the Holy Rosary in Hong Kong to establish the Order in Japan. Although the three friars sent by the Province returned by 1954, the Vicariate remains active today. The Record Group contains materials related to this relationship and the involved friars.
