Stewardship Recompense
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.” - 2 Cor 5:10
Stewards are accountable for all the gifts God has given us – our time, our talent and our treasure; everything we have and everything we are. Each of us is accountable not only for our own life but for the life of others as well. One day God will ask each of us what we did with the gifts we were given. How will you respond?

ALL OUR PARISHIONERS KNOW St. Elizabeth Parish School is the largest of our parish ministries. It is where our students find excellence in education and formation in our Catholic Faith. We are so grateful to our parents who make great sacrifices to enroll their children in the school. However, we don't ever want to turn families away if their finances currently do not allow them to pay the tuition. Can you help by adopting a student? It really can change a life! Call Principal Sister Olive (488-5322) at the school for details. Visit the school website. You can also make a financial gift here. Thank you for your support.
SIDEWALK ADVOCATES FOR LIFE hosts a 6-hour training course facilitated by Paul Maple, Pro-Life Director for the Knights of Columbus and Program Director for Hawaii’s Sidewalk Advocates for Life Organization. Paul recognized that volunteers standing in front of Planned Parenthood praying and holding signs could be more effective if given the necessary advocate training, that is, how to peacefully and lovingly reach out to women and men in crisis and give them choices to save their unborn child.
