Holy Matrimony:
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.
Cannot Marry in the Catholic Church Due to Prior Marriage?
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.

Funerals Arrangements

When Is Epiphany Celebrated in 2025?
The Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, also known as Three Kings Day,falls on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
In the Catholic tradition, Epiphany was always celebrated on January 6. Beginning with the 1970 liturgical year
(which commenced on November 30,1969), the feast was moved in the United States (and elsewhere in the Latin-Rite Church) to the first Sunday following January 1.
How Does Epiphany Relate to the Three Wise Men or Magi?
Although little is known about the Three Wise Men, tradition provides us with their names: Caspar,Melchior, and Balthasar. The Epiphany celebrates the moment Christ, the ultimate gift, was made known to the Three Wise Men and thus the Gentiles. Their journey is central to the Feast of the Three Kings 2025, highlighting the global acknowledgment of Jesus as the Messiah.
Catholic Epiphany Tradition
Tradition venerates the Three Wise Men as saints, including because they not only recognized Christ but also revealed him to the world. Their visit symbolizes the Gentiles finding Jesus and expressing, through their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, who he is: King, God, and Savior. In doing so, they show that Christ himself is the greatest gift to all humanity.
What Does “Epiphany” Mean, and What Do the Gifts Brought to Jesus Symbolize?
The term “Epiphany,” based on the Greek word meaning “manifestation” or “revelation,” commemorates key events in the life of Christ: the visitation of the Three Wise Men, the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan, and Christ’s first public miracle at Cana. Each reflects a moment of divine revelation .
The Three Epiphanies
The three epiphanies are the Magi's visit, the baptism of Jesus, and the wedding at Cana.

Thanks to all those who came for an evening of fun with Santa and fellowship!
HO HO HO…
Santa came and blessed us all with his presence and his huge bag of gifts!
Thank you, Santa, for taking the time out from your busy schedule to join us at St Pius X Church Christmas party and making all the kids, the seniors, and everyone else feel this Christmas was extra special for them!
(A big Mahalo to John Akana!)
The month of January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus, which is celebrated on January 3. "In the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven,on earth and under the earth. (Phil 2:10).
The best way to remember our dearly departed is by praying for them. And the best prayer we can offer is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Masses can be offered for anniversaries, health and healing, birthday blessings, in thanksgiving, etc. So we encourage you to visit the parish office and register.
MAHALO,
St Pius X Church
(A donation of $10.00 per Mass is requested.)
Our Stewardship Prayer
Generous and Loving Creator, you have called us to Malama i ka Makana (Cherish the Gift). As disciples of your Son, we ask that your Spirit open our minds and hearts to more deeply appreciate your countless blessings. Increase your transforming spirit within us, so as to nurture our call to stewardship as a way of life marked always by faith-filled prayer, service to others and generous giving. With the kokua of St. Marianne and St. Damien, teach us to be good stewards so we may return a hundred-fold the makana entrusted to us. Amen
We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
