It sounds an unlikely tale but Br. Jordi Guitart has become a star in the land of the rising son thanks to his sister’s grandson Gerard Pique who is in Japan with Barca for the Club World Cup.
It is 40 years since Br Guitart decided to go to Japan as a missionary and this week with Barca’s visit to the country he met his sister Montserrat, who is the wife of Barcelona representative Amador Bernabeu, and grandmother of Pique.
They met in Nagoya, Japan’s fourth biggest city, where Br Guitart is a member of the order of Saint Antoni Maria Claret and has rapidly become a celebrity. A Christmas party was held with other Barca directors and children from the city.
