Explanations for the next Sunday, April 12, 2020
1. Special location for the measures taken due to Coronavirus.
1-a. Three(3) masses will take place at a special location - 'IRIYA Hall' near Iriya/Uguisudani/Ueno Stations.
1-b. Please remember to bring with you a piece of paper which has the access information to the special mass location and a map.
2. Mass of Easter Sunday
2-a. The celebrant will be Fr Onoda and the first mass will begin at 9:00 a.m.
2-b. We reserved the biggest room - we usually have less than 60 people attending the Sunday mass, including small children, but in order to secure recommended social distance, there will be three Masses (!).
09:00 Sung Mass11:00 Low Mass12:30 Low Mass
According to our experience, we expect (suspect) most of the faithful would like to attend the 11 am Mass. However, understanding the purpose of having three Masses, we recommend you to attend other Masses than that of 11 o'clock. This is only to secure your social distancing.
2-c. As the room we will use is essentially a conference room, it has a hard floor - carpeted concrete - and not tatami. If you think you might have a problem kneeling there, please bring some towel or cushion with you.
Please kindly inform your friends about this change. We also suspect that this kind of information does not spread as efficiently as we wish.
With many many thanks for your kind understanding and your cooperation, we look forward to seeing you at the Easter Mass!
God bless you!
