These measures to prevent infection are key for protecting your own health and that of those around you, while also preventing the spread of infections.

Each Catholic church has been instructed to take measures to prevent infection based on the “Guidelines for the Catholic Church in Japan for Dealing with Infectious Diseases” (https://www.cbcj.catholic.jp/2020/11/09/21446/). In particular, in the Tokyo Parish, you cannot attend Mass at churches to which you do not belong. Please follow any instructions issued by the church to which you belong.

 

In addition, this document provides points to bear in mind when going to church in multiple languages.
