FEATURE STORY

Parish Spotlight:  St. Jude's

Picture
​[June 1, 2019, Ocean View, HI]  Back at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Convention, St. Jude's Episcopal Church on the Big Island was one of three churches featured in a video that was a part of Bishop Robert Fitzpatrick's Address to the Convention.  He highlighted the three churches (St. Elizabeth's, St. Columba's and St. Jude's) as being "at the forefront of the renewal of the Episcopal Church in Hawai'i."  (The video can be viewed HERE.)

Those bold words captured everyone's attention, especially since two of the three churches featured are located on the Big Island, and were relatively unfamiliar to many in the Diocese.
​
What was even more fascinating was learning that St. Jude's, which is located in Ocean View on the Southern most tip of the Big Island, for years has had no permanent priest, relying on visiting clergy to lead Sunday services.  As a mission church, members handle all aspects of church operations, guided by a Bishop's Committee. 

So how does a small church with no resident priest, located in an extremely rural area where many live off the grid, become one of the most vibrant in the Diocese with an astronomical growth rate?​  READ MORE
