| Come and join us at Mass! This parish was built in 1879 and is the fourth oldest church in Tokyo. It was built with the help of missionaries from France. But in 1905 it was burned down by genocide People. It was destroyed by a major earthquake in 1923 and destroyed by war in 1945. We have always rebuilt without giving up. This church, which was dedicated to famous saint of Nagasaki, shows the importance of our lives today along with the 28martyrs of Edo. It also exhibits evidence from the time when Christianity was suppressed. There is a delicious UNAGI restaurant across from the church. And 18-minute walk is the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is 634 meters high. It is one of the landmarks and the tallest tower in the world. There you will find a nice restaurant and ANIME character shop. The church can pray from 9 to 12 o'clock on weekdays. Mass is Sunday at 10 o'clock and there are also portraits of martyrs. Sunday prayers are offered in a mixture of Japanese and Latin. For the anniversary of the martyrs in February -Annual day for 26 Japanese martyrs (St. Paul MIKI and Companions)-, the Missa de Angelis is used from December until January. Guidebooks in English, Vietnamese and Spanish are also available. We also ask for your donations for preservation. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@iThis sentence was written on September 2, 2023j |
