Remember registration is required – to register contact the class coordinator, Alexander Yu, via email at: creative.writing@mbtchicago.org

The first Sunday of each month is the Monthly Memorial Service. As a part of our regular Shin (Jodo Shinshu) Family Service we take a moment to remember and express gratitude to loved ones who have passed away. During Service, children’s classes are also available.

Gotan-e celebrates the birth of Matsuwakamaro Hino, who became a monk at the age of 9 after the death of both of his parents. He went on to become known as Shinran Shonin and his descendants went on to found the Shin Buddhist (Hongwanji) sect.

Everyone is welcome to attend and for more information please visit our Family Service page or contact our office at 312.943.7801.
