Reflections on a Life ofService in Japan and LuxembourgFollowing a distinguished tenure at Sophia University, Monsignor Jean-Claude Hollerich in 2011 was appointed Archbishop of his home country, Luxembourg. He sat down for an interview during a recent visit to Japan, which was followed by a ceremony for the conferment of an honorary doctorate degree from Sophia Univer-sity upon His Royal Highness Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg.
