An image of the missionary Bartholomew Gutiérrez

The image shows a statue of the blessed missionary in a black habit, with his arms extended. It focuses the design on his religious identity. It may appeal to someone who appreciates devotional sculpture or wants a reminder of a missionary connected with Augustinian spirituality and the Christian communities of Japan.

Bartholomew was an Augustinian priest who undertook formation work in Manila before his mission in Japan. After being expelled from the country, he returned to the Philippines and later went back to accompany persecuted Christians. His journey combines teaching, community life and service in difficult conditions. This background can help you explain the gift’s connection with a shared devotion or interest in the missions.

Mexico City and Nagasaki on the reverse

The mug includes his name, Mexico City as his birthplace and Nagasaki as the place of his death. The commemoration prepared for this design is 2 September. These places connect the beginning and end of his missionary journey with the image on the other side, dedicating the keepsake to this particular blessed priest.
