Keirokai is a special celebration held to express our deepest gratitude and respect for the elders in our community. At the Toronto Buddhist Church, we are proud to honour members who are reaching milestone ages—77 (Kiju), 88 (Beiju), 99 (Hakuju), 100 (Kakuju), and beyond.
We invite everyone to join us on Sunday, May 25, 2025, for a heartfelt Keirokai Service at 11:00 AM, both in person and via Zoom. Following the service, we’ll gather for a bento box lunch and enjoy some lively entertainment in celebration of our honourees.
