40DaysForLife Continues Through November 1
The Respect Life Committee began the 40DaysForLife Campaign on Wednesday, September 23 and continues through Sunday, November 1. This is an international event of 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion. You’re invited to join us in peaceful prayer during the 40-day vigil in the public right-of-way outside St. Michael’s church on Ali’i Drive. By prayer and fasting, we receive the grace to support those who have an unplanned pregnancy, and need guidance and assistance. We pray for an end to abortion. We pray that couples in crisis pregnancy will consider alternatives and choose life for their babies. We also provide public information on available community resources for pregnancy and post abortion healing retreats.
If you’d like to volunteer as a prayer disciple, or stand up for life and participate in our community outreach, please sign up at www.40daysforlife.com/enkona. Signs are provided. For more info, contact Lori through our parish office.

Blind and Visually Impaired Service Meetings
Please help support the newest program for the blind and visually impaired that will be administered by the Ho’opono Services for the Blind Division. Right now this program is only being offered on Oahu. The newly enacted legislation aims to provide support services to the blind and visually impaired individuals on the Neighbor Islands that would help them to integrate well within the communities they reside and provide opportunity where they have access to training to acquire new skills and also assist with barriers that are preventing them from achieving independence and self-sufficiency. There are three virtual meetings scheduled that interested parties can attend via zoom. Agenda items include an overview of the pilot project, stakeholder questions i.e. what services will be offer-ed, where and how often. You will also have the opportunity to offer your input for any services that you need.
For more information, please contact Ronald Formata through the Parish Office.
