Oogaki Church 50th anniversary

i told myself,no pics, no blogging till after exams but blah.. should be studying laa.. talk about self-control. was supposed to just enjoy myself at the church's celebrations but i ended bringing my cam and went all trigger-happy...

this are some pics of it, not necessarily good.. noisy, all shot on iso1600 but since i'm only using for small prints, i guess it's alright -)

1.entrance 2.the archbishop of japan,at least i think so...

3.recieving holy communion

4.the archbishop with the parish priest, father ben who is such a nice guy from aussie.
5.siblings..just lovely.. would have been nice closer up and from a higher perspective. she's
brazilian btw

6.patrick and andrew, the 2 american dudes. patrick is a software engineer for softopia japan while andrew is an english teacher for an elite high school in the area.
7.the most adoring 4yr old kid around. he speaks so softly but is very active.
8.another priest.. he's pretty good at it
9.siblings again,i like the perspective here but would have preferred her older sister a little more blurred out(lens limitations)
10.yuko-san, the organ player.here she's leading a group of children for a performance.
11.last but not least,him again! i must thank his mom actually for driving me to the lunch area. they're mexican btw.
oogaki church has been one of the few sources of socialism to me, where everyone is kind and warm and reminds me of home. i'm just sad that they're building a new church and if it's too far from the station, i would have to find another one...

okay.. from now.. no more pics,hopefully..
