Welcome to the Franciscan Chapel Center.  As Fall approaches everyone is getting up to full speed.  Schools have begun, people have returned from vacation and things are getting back to “normal hectic.”  We hope that if you are visiting Tokyo you will join us for Mass on Sunday or during the week.  Check our bulletin for special weekly events and the regular schedule.

We are looking at the celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on October 4, our parish patronal feast day.  We will have a big celebration for San Lorenzo Ruiz on September 28 at 6:30pm.  The Archbishop of Tokyo will be with us to celebrate the patron of Filipino overseas workers.  All are invited.  As we observe our parish feast, there will be a great concert on September 30 at 7:00pm.

On October 2, we will have the blessing of pets in honor of St. Francis at 2pm right in front of the Center.  Bring your pets for the blessing and invite others to bring their pets.   There will also be a parish cook-out/eat-in that will welcome new members and give us all a chance to catch up  with one another after the summer.  Therefore, on the actual feast, October 4, we will have a festival celebration at 6:30pm.  
Save the dates and join us.   We all look to these celebrations.
