Please join us in prayer for those responsible for the vandalism and theft at the church.
Despite feeling hurt, discouraged and angry about the recent crimes on our property, we pray for those responsible. We hope that whoever is responsible, will come forward and let us help them find their way in the world. At St. Jude’s, Jesus talk is a daily walk and we welcome all of Ocean View to walk with us.
Our church is a busy place and we really don’t have time for the distraction of graffiti, theft and vandalism.
St. Jude’s hosts Hawaii County Senior Nutrition Program, Hannah’s Makana Ohana hula halau, Girl Scouts, Ten 12-step self-help programs, the Ka’u Band, The Ka’u Food Pantry, free veterinary services, two different Marshallese congregations, just to name a few. If someone in the community needs pastoral care, a place for a wedding or funeral, St. Jude’s is often the first place residents call.
We are proud to offer Free WiFi and electrical outlets to charge phones or other devices to over 13,000 users each year. A free computer lab is open to the public on Saturdays. A veterinary medical van provides free spay and neuter services in our parking lot, once a month.
Saturdays are hopping with activity with families that come to us to have a free hot shower. We provide the shampoo, body wash, conditioner, razors, tooth brushes and toothpaste and big fluffy towels. Once a month we host free BINGO games for our shower family members. Free homemade soup is provided for anyone that is hungry.
Over the past year, about 25,000 meals have been served from our kitchen. Parishioners often go out into our courtyard to invite people in for meals. All are welcome at St. Jude’s table, and treated with aloha. Even the ones vandalizing our church are invited to sit at our table and share our aloha.
A small group of dedicated volunteers is responsible for our outreach programs. We are hard workers, dedicated to serving God by serving our community.
