VISION AND MISSION

Front Grotto's Virgin Mary

Front Grotto's Virgin Mary

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to bring Glad Tidings to the poor. He has sent me to bring liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord. “ - Luke 4: 18 -19

The Mission of St. Michael the Archangel was founded July 5, 1840 with the present Church having been completed in 1850. Our parishioners are a rich mosaic of many cultures and customs and are happy to welcome people of all backgrounds and faiths to our worshipping community.

Today, the mission has grown into the North Kona Catholic Community, which includes St. Michael the Archangel Church in Kailua-Kona, Immaculate Conception Church in Holualoa, St. Pauls Church in Honalo, St. Peters Church in Keauhou and Holy Rosary Church in Kalaoa. NKCC serves over 1,000 parishioners and a steady stream of visitors, many who return year after year.

As you browse our website, we hope that you will discover a bit about our parish. We invite you to contact the parish with your concerns and questions. Above all, we hope that you will visit us, join in our worship of God, and walk with us as we strive to grow in the likeness of the risen Christ.

Readings

Eighteenth Sunday in OrdinaryTime

Reading I – Ecclesiastes 1:2; 2:21-23

Reading II – Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11

Gospel – Luke 12:13-21

Values to Live By -  Today’s Scriptures contain some catch phrases that are still quite familiar in our world:  “All is vanity,” and “Eat, drink, and be merry” are both Scriptural in origin.  In the same way that it is easy to pray last week’s Lord’s Prayer thoughtlessly, it is easy to let the potent passages of Scripture that are built on these common sayings glide right off our slick ears.

Last week’s Scriptures instructed us to listen attentively to the Lord, so that we might pray carefully.  Our listening and our prayer are intimately connected.  In the same way, this week we learn that our values and our living are connected as well.  It has become quite common to ask, “Do you own your possessions or do they own you?”  Like the familiar maxims from today’s Readings, we might be tempted to quote this saying flippantly, and think that in the quoting of it we have truly considered it, perhaps lived it.  Not true, Qoheleth, Paul and Jesus tell us today.  It is not wrong to treasure or cherish things of earth or of our own humanity; it is only wrong when those things we cherish are not of God, are not of the self-giving Christ.  Copyright, J.S.
