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.

Saint Hilarion

October 21

Despite his best efforts to live in prayer and solitude, today’s saint found it difficult to achieve his deepest desire. People were naturally drawn to Hilarion as a source of spiritual wisdom and peace. He had reached such fame by the time of his death that his body had to be secretly removed so that a shrine would not be built in his honor. Instead, he was buried in his home village.

Saint Hilarion the Great, as he is sometimes called, was born in Palestine. After his conversion to Christianity, he spent some time with Saint Anthony of Egypt, another holy man drawn to solitude. Hilarion lived a life of hardship and simplicity in the desert, where he also experienced spiritual dryness that included temptations to despair. At the same time, miracles were attributed to him.

As his fame grew, a small group of disciples wanted to follow Hilarion. He began a series of journeys to find a place where he could live away from the world. He finally settled on Cyprus, where he died in 371 at about age 80.

Hilarion is celebrated as the founder of monasticism in Palestine. Much of his fame flows from the biography of him written by Saint Jerome.

(†) Eternal Repose;
(SI) Special Intentions; (B) Birthdays;
(H) Health

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

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
