Congratulations to our new novice priests. I regret that I won't be able to attend the ceremony, as I have to work, but my heart celebrates with y'all.

Kojitsu, Koriki and Shinkon,
Congratulations and welcome! Witnessing your ordination today, I felt a little like I was attending a wedding or being someone's birthing partner - the result is that we have a new member of the family, or in this case triplets. So welcome to the family of Gudō Wafu Nishijima and Niwa Zuigaku Rempō.
It is lovely to see three good people take this step. Please always ask if you need a chat or some support.
Nine Bows,
