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.
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.
Our mission is to serve Jesus Christ by loving God and each other, to spread the Good News and to make new disciples in our community.
The vision for our parish is to unify, awaken and energize the faithful and make our celebration of the Eucharist an irresistible expression of welcome, faith and love.

Building bridges on your personal journey of Faith.
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.
To see how far St. Damien Parish has come in the past year is proof that our faith is why we are all here.
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!
