Respect Life Corner

Weekend of May 3/4, 2025

You can’t outdo God’s generosity – and it is difficult to beat the generosity of Holy Trinity parishioners.
Our 2025 Lent food drive weighed 1,632 pounds! In addition, $635 was donated via the QR code postedon the display board. In total, HTC helped provide an equivalent of 2,725 meals to our brothers and sisters in need right here in Hawai`i.

These are difficult times for the charities that fight the food insecurity in Hawaii. Thank you to the generous

HTC parishioners for your support.

A baby is coming! What a joyous proclamation. But sometimes, those words bring worry and concern. Having a baby is life changing. And an unexpected pregnancy means life’s plans will
change dramatically. And it also means our hearts can welcome an unexpected blessing. It is important to build a world where we are all welcome, and a world filled with compassion, healing and unconditional love. This is what Jesus calls us to. But it is not always easy.

 
We long to show our support of life – of families welcoming a new child as well as young women who may not be sure about welcoming a new child to their life. Our Walking With Moms ministry recognizes that a pregnant woman and her child are not alone, they are part of our larger human family. And if support and compassion are needed, we are committed to find services that can help.

The Holy Family provides an example of courage and compassion: Mary, who not only said “yes” to life but who accompanied and cared for her child throughout his life; Joseph, who met the unexpected challenges and threats to the child with fortitude and compassion; and Jesus himself, who came into the world not with power and majesty but with the vulnerability, dependence, and humility of a child.

You will have the opportunity to join us in a joyful celebration of new moms, new families and new life. Our Baby Shower – right here at Holy Trinity – will be Sunday, May 18, 2-4 pm, in our gym.

We would love to have you help us celebrate life! RSVP for the party or let us know how you would like to
help. Sign up sheets for committees and donation ideas on our Angel display board will be available beginning
next weekend… but if you don’t want to wait, send us an email at [email protected] and let us know how
you would like to get involved.

At Holy Trinity we support and sustain a culture of LIFE. We appreciate the support of your prayers. If would
