We, the parish community of Immaculate Conception, are a multi-ethnic people, who in our diversity
find our strong sense of unity in our belief in Jesus Christ. We initially express our belief in Christ Jesus through Baptism
which binds us as a community. We are a unique community of the universal Roman Catholic community. We find our uniqueness
in living within the district of Lihue, with its culture and its traditions. In common with all Roman Catholic communities
our faith and life together is nourished by the Eucharist which is the source and summit of our lives and our mission.
As a community centered in the Eucharist we are a people compelled to mission. Our mission
is threefold: Outreach to the unevangelized, the broken, and the poor; unity among ourselves while respecting our diversity;
and, renewal of our identity as Disciples of Christ.
We fulfill our mission through education and social action / human services; community participation
on all levels; and, availability and soliciting input.
Because we place ourselves
under the patronage of Mary the Mother of Jesus and our mother, under her title of the Immaculate Conception, we have
a particular love and concern for your young people in our church community and the community at large. Mary, our patron,
nurtured and cared for her Son. Imitating her spirit, young people are of the highest priority in all of our activities
and programs.
