Bishop's Award: Emali MalohiEmali Malohi received the Bishop’s Award from Bishop Fitzpatrick at the Baccalaureate service of St. Andrew’s Priory School, on Sunday, May 28, 2023.
The award citation reads: “Emali lives her faith daily; it makes up who she is as a person and is embedded in her beliefs and actions. Authentic in her motivations, a deep thinker about values, relationships, faith, and witness and how these intertwine. Ema is gracious and kind to everyone; she radiates thoughtfulness, respect, and appreciation in her daily actions and interactions, and she demonstrates these same qualities in the way she approaches others' cultures, customs, traditions, and religions with an open mind. Emali’s faith guides her. As she so beautifully expressed in her hula as our May Day Queen this year, music is a cherished gift that allows her to express her faith. Emali’s strength and grace are rooted in her faith and the love she feels from her family and community. When she dances, she thinks of her love for her family, and it is the deep connection she has through her faith that nourishes this love. She has a sincere desire to give back to the community that raised her and aspires to truly make a difference in the world.” BACK TO TOP ^ |
