Calendar of Events

From the desk of Canon Ueda...

(updated 6/22/25)

Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 6:56-59.

At that time, Jesus said to the crowds of the Jews: My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed. He who eats My Flesh, and drinks My Blood, abides in Me and I in him. As the living Father has sent Me, and as I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me. This is the Bread that has come down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this Bread shall live forever.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Canon Raphael Ueda
