NEW PARISH LIFE STORIES

Church is so much more than Mass on the weekend. It’s about being a good steward of the world around us, connecting with other people, and growing our faith as a Catholic community. The rich tapestry of families coming together in the presence of God presents many opportunities for developing meaningful and lasting relationships. It is this diversity coupled with the common thread of Faith that is our strength as a Parish.

LET’S FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR PARISH FAMILY

St. Damien of Molokai parishioners come from every walk of life. We are students, homemakers, realtors, doctors, parents, and grandparents. We are multi-generational and we celebrate and draw on the broad depth of our different life experiences and unique God-given talents through our many parish ministries. But we are so much more than our generous individual contributors. With one shared Faith, we are a beacon of hope in an unyielding world. And we are a force for good as we strive to achieve good works for humanity and represent the living Christ in all that we do.

HOMILIES

The word homily was adapted from the ancient Greek, homilia, meaning ``conversation`` or ``address.`` The purpose of the homily is to provide insight into the meaning of the Scriptures within a relatable and relevant context. Parishioners should take away a new perspective or understanding of the Scriptures, which should inspire them to ruminate on the teachings of Christ. Each homily is uniquely specific to the Liturgical season, place, and audience.

HOMILIES ARCHIVE

  • I was a parishioner of St. Gabe's from 1972. In 2008 I moved to St. Joseph's, so I have a unique perspective experiencing both parishes. The merger has invigorated the life of our parish. The environment all those years ago in St. Gabe's is now very much alive and well at St. Damien Parish.

  • The hard work of the priests at St. Damien's with the help of God shows they have listened to the needs of their parishioners. We are a family helping family - I am proud to be one of their parishioners.

  • I wanted to find a parish that would not only reignite my Catholic faith, but also provide fellowship in a welcoming environment. I knew I had found what I was looking for at St. Damien Parish. We travel 13 miles to be part of this parish, and it is worth it!
