Marriage is a very significant event and requires preparation to celebrate it properly. If you are planning to marry, the Diocesan policy is that you see a Priest and begin the preparation at least six months prior to the wedding date. Please call the rectory for an appointment.
Pope Francis streamlined the process to petition for a declaration of nullity to make the process shorter. He also eliminated the mandatory fee. If a person is able to prove in this process that their prior marital bond was invalid for some reason, then he or she can marry in the Catholic Church or validate a current civil marriage. For assistance in petitioning, you can contact Fr. PJ Camiring, Vanessa Mark, BJ Schreiner or Sister Lucinda at [808-988-3308] who can assist you as an advocate.
Contact Fr. Nick Brown
Though not a Sacrament, when death occurs, contact the parish office immediately
In the year 1251, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite. She handed him a brown woolen scapular and said, “This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire.” In time, the Church extended this magnificent privilege to all the laity who are willing to be invested in the Brown Scapular. True devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary consists in three things: Veneration, Confidence, and Love. By simply wearing the Scapular, we can tell her every moment of the day that we venerate her, love her and trust in her protection.

Feast Day: July 16
Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church, associated with the Carmelite order. This devotion is centered around the role of Mary in the life and spirituality of the faithful, particularly in the context of the Carmelite tradition. The origins of the devotion can be traced back to the 12th century when a group of hermits established a community on Mount Carmel in present-day Israel. These hermits looked to Mary as their spiritual mother and patroness, and over time, the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel spread throughout the Catholic world.
One of the key elements of the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel is the wearing of the brown scapular, a small piece of cloth that is worn over the shoulders as a symbol of devotion to Mary. According to tradition, Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite friar, in the 13th century and gave him the scapular as a sign of her protection and intercession. The scapular has since become a widely recognized symbol of the Carmelite tradition and a popular sacramental among the faithful.
The feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is celebrated on July 16th each year, and is a time for Carmelites and the faithful to honor Mary and reflect on her role in their lives. The celebration often includes special Masses, processions, and devotions, as well as the blessing of scapular.
Beyond the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Mary holds a central place in Catholic spirituality and theology. She is honored as the Mother of God and the model of Christian discipleship, and her intercession is sought by countless believers around the world. Many Catholics find comfort and inspiration in turning to Mary in times of need, and the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel is just one example of the powerful role she plays in the lives of the faithful.
In addition to the scapular, there are many prayers and devotions that are associated with the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. These include the Litany of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the Rosary, and the Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. These prayers and devotions serve as a way for the faithful to deepen their relationship with Mary and seek her intercession in their daily lives.
Overall, the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a testament to the enduring love and devotion that Catholics have for Mary. Through this devotion, believers are able to deepen their spiritual lives and draw closer to God through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
