カトリック瀬田教会
(Seta Catholic Church)
Seta Church is a church on a hill. You can see across at the end of the road leading from the Futako-tamagawa station. This is the Lord's house, and my home and yours.
Everyone is welcomed and prays together, regardless of races, nationalities, or languages barriers.
Together we may walk toward the light.
You too may start from head up the church on the hill.
Join us pray for the Lord.
Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden."

From the parish priest
Catholic Seta Church is located in Setagaya Ward, in the western part of Tokyo's 23 wards. Kawasaki City is across the Tama River. It's a 15-minute walk from Futako-Tamagawa Station. When you reach the hills of Seta, you can see the church at the top. People from Setagaya Ward, as well as those from neighboring municipalities, come to the church.
The church has about 800 members. While many Catholic churches in Tokyo are large, Catholic Seta Church is a small church. There are two Masses every Sunday, and more than 200 people attend in total.
One of the distinguishing features of Catholic Seta Church is that it is a church that is welcoming to everyone. The gates and doors are always open during the day, and the spacious garden can be seen from the meeting hall where parishioners gather. Thanks to the efforts of the parishioners, the flowers are also well cared for. When I see children playing ball in the courtyard in front of the church, or when I meet people who come to pray every morning before going to work, even if they have not been baptized, I feel God's blessing and am grateful. I feel joy every day knowing that this church has become a place of comfort for the people in the neighborhood.
Another characteristic of Catholic Seta Church, expressed in modern terms, is that it is an "open" church. There are no particular roles or activities of the church. Many parishioners freely participate in Mass, drink tea, chat, and spend a relaxed Sunday morning together with those who pray devoutly or those who dedicate themselves to service activities.
This is the Catholic Seta Church, where anyone can come anytime. Please feel free to visit us if you'd like.
