O God, who willed that Saint John the Baptist should go ahead of your Son both in his birth and in his death, grant that, as he died a Martyr for truth and justice, we, too, may fight hard for the confession of what you teach. ⁣ #Saints #JohnTheBaptist

The Vietnamese Catholic Community at Holy Rosary Chapel: A Journey of Faith, Unity, and Hope By Fr. Francis Hai Pham “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.” (Psalm 133:1) The history of the Church has always been a story of people journeying together in faith. Wherever Catholics settle, they bring with them not only their language and culture, but more importantly their love for Jesus Christ, their devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and their desire to remain united with the universal Church. Such is the story of the Vietnamese Catholic Community on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. article in our links

Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake; watch over us as we sleep, that awake we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in His peace. ⁣ #KeepWatch #Scripture #Catholic #OrdinaryTime

Support for our Ka’u Communities MAHALO for your prayers for our neighbors in Ka’u. Many have asked how we can support the families in our Ka‘u communities who were affected by Hurricane Lala. Help is needed throughout Ocean View, Kahuku, Waiohinu, Naalehu, Pahala, and Wood Valley, where families are still working to recover. If you are able, please consider making a donation to help get assistance directly to those most in need. Envelopes are available in the kiosks and in the bulletin. Several community organizations are also driving supplies out to Ka‘u daily. You can contact them directly through social media for current drop‑off locations and ways to help. Thank you for your generosity and your steadfast prayers. Please continue to keep our Ka‘u neighbors in your hearts as they rebuild with courage and hope.
