Obon Weekend July 13 & 14th 2013

It is time, once again, for the Obon committee to schedule the annual cemetery visitation. It is our hope that you have already read or heard of the changes to our 2013 Obon ohaka mairi format. These have been published in the Guiding Light and additional notices have been printed on the Sunday service programs.

The main changes are in regard to the cemeteries which will now be receiving central service by our two resident senseis and this year, also by our guest speaker, Rev. Fred Ulrich from the Manitoba Buddhist Temple. At this time, we welcome our new Sensei, Christina Yanko to the Toronto Temple.

The six cemeteries now receiving central services are: Highland Memory Gardens, Pine Hills Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Prospect Cemetery, Park Lawn Cemetery and Resthaven Cemetery.

Please click on the June Guiding Light button below for more details outlining the central service schedule.
