Bread for the journey, walking with the WORD
This women’s retreat invites participants to slow down, listen deeply and walk alongside women of Scripture through guided reflection, creative prayer, and embodied practice. Participants will discover how one word, one gesture, or one faithful step can be carried home, nourishing everyday life as you are. Leave with bread for the journey.

Happy Aloha Friday!
You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. -Leviticus 19:34 #allarewelcome
St. Paul states, that when were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, we were baptized into his death. We were buried with him and lay dead, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also might set our feet upon the new life of Christ. For if we have been incorporated with him in a death like his, we shall also be one with him in his resurrection (Rom. 6: 3-5).
Please join us on Saturday, February 14th from 5pm to 9pm, for a romantic fun filled evening of drinks, dinner and dancing in the Grace Parish Center. Tickets on sale after all weekend masses on the church lanai for only $40 per person. Hosted by the Knights of Columbus. See posters on church kiosks for more information
Join us for an opportunity to spend time growing in your relationship with Christ, pursuing Him through the gift of prayer! Our Lord wants only the very best for us.

We have a God of abundance. Let Him show you all He has in mind for you.
