Our parish came together on Sunday, January 5 to celebrate and honor Fr. Edwin Damien Conselva, M.S. on his 5th year Priestly Anniversary with a potluck brunch at the historic Waimea Theater. Fr. Edwin’s siblings from Oahu and the Big Island joined in the celebration making it an even happier occasion! Following brunch, we viewed the movie, “Molokai: The Story of Fr. Damien” a movie that reminds us to serve our fellow brothers and sisters with the love of Christ in all we do. God bless Fr. Damien…he is indeed a Saint to be imitated! We all thank God for Fr. Edwin and pray that he will continue in his role as our Pastor for years to come…God bless you, Fr. Edwin on your anniversary and always!

Respect Life Prayer: Heavenly Father, the beauty and dignity of human life was the crowning of your creation. You further ennobled that life when your Son became one with us in His incarnation. Help us to realize the sacredness of human life and to respect it from the moment of conception until the last moment at death. Give us courage to speak with truth and love and with conviction in defense of life. Help us to extend the gentle hand of mercy and forgiveness to those who do not reverence your gift of life. To all, grant pardon for the times we have failed to be grateful for your precious gift of life or to respect it in others. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
