Please support the Bishop's Circle
With three more months to go on the 2017-2018 Bishop’s Circle appeal, the annual diocesan large-donor campaign is two-thirds of the way to its $350,000 goal.
As of March 22, it has collected $230,000, 10 percent more than the appeal received at this time last year, said Mark Clark, director of the diocesan Stewardship and Development office, which runs the campaign.

Are you not able to be married in the Catholic Church because of a prior marriage? Pope Francis recently streamlined the process for annulments, making the process much shorter. He also elminated the fees. For more information about the annulment process and your eventual marriage in the Church, contact Father Arnold at 487-2414 x31 or send email to aortiz@rcchawaii.org.

Receive Communion with Reverence!
The Most Holy Eucharist is the "source and summit of our faith." The Eucharist is Jesus Himself. Recall again with this video how important it is to receive Holy Communion with the greatest care and devotion.
