On November 30, 2005, under the authorization of  the Vatican, the School  concluded an ongoing affiliation agreement with the Regensburg College of  Church Music and Music Education in Germany. This opened the path for  local Japanese graduates to qualify for Diploma B of Musician of Church Music,  equivalent to the diploma in Germany, and Diploma C of Musician  of Church Music. This agreement serves as a strong milestone and foundation  starting in 2006, and we anticipate that this will provide another strong  motivation and rewarding experience for our  students.

President of Regensburg College of Church Music and Music Education:

Hochschule fuer Katholische Kirchenmusik und Musikpaedagogik Regensburg

It is my great  pleasure to send greetings to Ms. Chikako Hashimoto, Principal of St. Gregory  House, and its lecturers and students. On October 31,  2005, the department of Catholic Educational Institutions of the  Vatican, through its order,  authorized St. Gregory House to arrange an ongoing affiliation agreement with  the Regensburg College of Church Music and Music Education


On November 30, in  Regensburg, we  celebrated this special event with many guests. This affiliation agreement is  really a great pleasure for us in Regensburg. It is our mission to nurture and  develop this affiliation. I sincerely hope that it will be a great pleasure  and satisfaction for those who study church music. God bless you all.
