St. John's hosts Maori Guests from Whangarae, North Island, Aotearoa
While visiting St. John's again this year, students and faculty from Tikipunga School in Whangarei, Aotearoa's North Island, performed for the community at Kamehameha High School, Kahuku High Hawaiian Immersion, Puohala Elementary, Hakipu'u, and Kamehameha Preschool-Heeia. They not only shared their musical talents but also participated in Makahiki games at these schools as well as with the Ko'olauloa community at Hale 'Ahla in Punalu'u. In between times, facilitated by our outreach coordinator Tori, they enjoyed shopping at Ross's, going to the water park, exploring Waikiki, and even cosmic bowling! Tori says, "The love and respect from youngest to the kupuna is amazing and unlike anything I've experienced in a long time. Hosting guests at St. John's has been and continues to be my pleasure--the relationships & connections makes this ministry so rewarding!" Thanks to Vicki Fay for the photos from our Eucharistic Service on December 10, 2017, when the Whangarei folks sang for us.

St. John's First Craft Fair
Our first craft fair, held in Ho‘okano Hall on Saturday, November 18, was a rousing success! People enjoyed the opportunity to shop, eat, listen (and dance!) to the music, and just hang out and talk story. We also raised money for St. John's programs. Mahalo nui to all who participated and attended, especially oganizers Kealohi and Kama Naipo! See more photos, courtesy of Vicki Fay.
The Bishop's 2017 Visit
On November 5, the Rt. Rev. Robert Fitzpatrick made his annual visit to St. John's and celebrated the Eucharist with Father Nahoa. The service was a memorable one, given the community commemoration of the 100th year anniversary of HRH Liliʻuokalani's death in 1917. The service was taken from the Requiem mass that was prepared for her funeral at Iolani Palace. Afterwards, members of St. John's hosted Bishop Bob and his wife Bea with food and fellowship in the traditional style of St. John-sians!!
St. John's by-the-Sea at the Annual Diocesan Convention
Mahalo nui to the delegates who represented St. John's at the annual convention October 20-21, 2017. Among the most moving aspects of the gathering was the display dedicated to members who have passed away during the last year and joined the Church Triumphant! We honor their memory and keep them always in our hearts!
