The "Inspiring Hope: Spiritual Wellness" Ministry will meet on Monday, September 28, 2026 at 6:00 pm at St. Joseph Church in Hilo in the lower meeting room. Our topic will be: "The Emotional and Spiritual Impact of Stroke and other Neurological Impairments".
This ministry is a unique, spiritual approach to mental health in the Diocese of Honolulu developed under the sponsorship of Bishop Larry Silva. It is tailored to the cultural diversity in Hawaii. As far as is known, there is no other ministry like this addressing mental health through the Holy Spirit and based on Catholic teaching and spirituality. All discussions are confidential. Come and sit with the "Inspiring Hope: Spiritual Wellness" Ministry group and walk with us through God’s scripture...experience His healing found in the Word and in our Catholic faith.
