Mahalo to everyone who helped to make our Engaged Encounter weekend such a success! We were truly blessed by the outpouring from the St. Joseph Community!
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.
Join us for When You Pray: A Clear Path to a Deeper Relationship with God on Thursday, March 6 at 6 pm. For more information please call the Rectory office at 808-935-1465.

Please accompany ALL minors (ages 17 & younger) to the restrooms. It is YOUR kuleana to keep them safe while attending Mass & parish events.
SAFETY NEEDS TO BE EVERYONE’S PRIORITY!
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.
