A ceremony wasconducted on
10/29 for a longtime shrine
friend to express
appreciation fora home which
he painstakingly
built decades
ago but felt theneed todownsize.
18 year-old Rayce has been
coming to the shrine for a
blessing since he was 3 years
old.
His blessing on 11/3 was a
bittersweet one as he'll beheading off to college after
graduation next year. The
Shichigosan volunteers
looked forward to seeing
Rayce and his mother everyyear as we witnessed his
growth from a toddler to ahigh school athlete.

A prayer wascomposed byRev. Takizawa expressing gratitude to thehome which through its doors they
welcomed friends and family, celebrated
triumphs and joys and shared sorrows andfears - a home that marked the holidays andthe milestones of their lives.
We honor with affection all those whocrossed this threshold with them - thatwalked the floors and ran and danced inequal measure. As he bids farewell to thehome, may he take with him the blessings
lived in every room.

An exclusive Marathon Finisher 'somamori will be given to
hundreds of JALPAK clients
participating in the Honolulu
Marathon on 12/8.
This is the 8th year that theshrine has collaborated withJALPAK to create an event
specific omamori. JALPAK has its
origin in 1965 as the brandname for Japan's first overseas

The omamoris were consecrated in ritual by Rev Takizawa
on November 19.
