    Hello,
    My name is Francine. I am a 4th year student at Mount Royal University. I am taking a class on Eastern World Religions and I am required to attend a live religious service. I am interested in attending the Calgary Buddhist Temple’s live service but I do not have Facebook. Will there be a live service on May 30, 2021, and if so can I attend the service even though I do not have a Facebook account?

    If you can please let me know that would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you kindly,

    Francine

      Hello Francine: My apologizes for not seeing your post sooner! Unfortunately, at this time, we are not offering any “live” services. Sensei Robert Gubenco has recorded a few services on YouTube which you could watch if you do not have a Facebook account.

      We are hopeful that in-person services may start again soon. There is a break for about a month in July/August but there’s a good chance that when we open our doors again in August that services will be “live” again.

      In the meantime, please keep checking the website for updates. Stay safe.

    Hi!

    I am wondering if you are offering in person services every Sunday during the new year 2022. Will there be in person service this January 9th and if so, how can I sign up?

    Thank you!

      Hello Heidi. Apologizes for not replying to your email sooner. Due to the increase in COVID numbers, in-person services will not be held until it is safe for the congregation to meet again. Please watch for updates to the website and the temple facebook group. Be safe!
