The "Inspiring Hope: Spiritual Wellness" Ministry will meet on Monday, April 27, 2026 at 6:00 pm at St. Joseph Church in Hilo in the lower meeting room. Our topic will be: "Spiritual Healing through Our Lord's Atoning Mercy". 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.
Please call Deacon Jim Dougherty at (808) 315-1319 for more information.

In the Event of an Emergency:
Our Religious Education for Teens continues. If you have received all of your Sacraments, yet want to continue to study and enjoy the company of your peers, please join us to add to the learning experience. If you are not Catholic and have not received your Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation, here is your chance to come to complete that part of your Spiritual growth. Remember, if you ever want to be a Godparent, you must be a Confirmed Catholic! Classes are the usual time, 10:15 am, right after the 9 am Mass on Sunday. Come to class this Sunday to register. See you there!
Catholic Stewardship is the commitment to be Christ-centered and grateful to God. It involves living out gratitude, justice, and love by using God's gifts wisely and sharing them generously.
