Weddings and funerals

I want to have a wedding...

We accept wedding ceremonies for both believers and non-believers.

A wedding is a sacred occasion for prayer in which couples pledge their love and faithfulness to each other before God and others, and are bound by God to have a lifelong bond. Therefore, couples who wish to get married are required to take a "marriage course" regardless of whether they are believers or not, so that they can understand the meaning of marriage and have a rich married life.

For details on conditions, please contact the reception desk at Chofu Church.

I have to go to a church funeral, what should I do?

For Christians, death is not the end, but the beginning of eternal life. Funerals allow us to remember the hope and comfort of the Kingdom of God even in the midst of our sorrow. Please pray that the deceased may rest in peace with God.

It is common for Catholic funerals to have floral tributes. Flowers are offered, hands are folded, and a silent prayer is performed. The envelope for the tribute should be a Christian style one with "Ohanaryo" written on it, or if one is not available, "Goreizen" can be used.
