What God did in the lives of countless saints, he wants to do in the lives of ordinary people like us. And that’s what this study is about: the journey of prayer God wants to take us on.

SAFETY NEEDS TO BE EVERYONE’S PRIORITY!
Big Island Youth Day was held on March 1, 2025 at St. Michael’s in Kona. St. Joseph was represented by members of EPIC Ministry and also youth from St. Joseph School and Church.
All of our choirs are looking to welcome new members who want to share the gifts that God has given them.
Please, speak with any music person at the Mass you attend if you feel called to serve.
Just a friendly reminder that Children’s Liturgy is a program for all children between the ages of 5 through 12. The Word is shared through stories, discussions, pictures and games to convey the message of the Scriptures. Most importantly, they learn how Jesus is present in our lives through the Gospel and the Eucharist.
So please encourage your children and grandchildren to attend and participate in the Children’s liturgy.
For more information, please contact the Religious Education office.
