In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI honored him with the title monsignor for his long and distinguished service to the Diocese of Orlando. The honors were formally conferred during Evening Prayer at the Festival of Faith on May 9.
“I ministered with Monsignor Kamide for two years,” said Father Richard Walsh, Diocesan Administrator. “He was a great pastoral minister, who manifested a gentle spirit and a compassionate heart. He was patient with others and tolerant of their faults. Monsignor Kamide’s relationship with Christ was truly the foundation stone of his ministry.”
