The majority of NHCC accomplishments go unnoticed except to those who
are directly affected by our deeds. Projects for our parish are constantly
ongoing with new ones being added and completed almost on a monthly basis.
From major construction to minor repairs, from long-term planning to emergency
assistance. Our membership makes up a talent pool that covers all walks
of life that includes doctors, scientists, welders, masons, electoral
workers, gardeners, truck drivers and the list goes on and on… Together,
we offer our parish a valuable resource that is dedicated to the well-being
of our parish and its parishioners.
To mention just two of our many accomplishments:....
In 1997 the NHCC started their free pancake breakfast for everyone in
our parish as a means for promoting fellowship and brotherhood amongst
parishioners. It was initially only allowed to be held twice a year but
wth the arrival of Father Keahi in 1999 we were allowed to increase this
to a quarterly event. Father Keahi also took this idea to the next step
by expanding it to encompass other major organizations and we now refer
to it as "Hospitality Sunday". Everyone continues to enjoy this function
provided by all major organizations on the first Sunday of each month.
In 1998 the NHCC instigated our first Parish Picnic. Initially funded
and executed entirely by the NHCC, this event brought together all members
of the parish for a day of games, food, and fun. With increasing participation
each year, this idea has also taken root in our parish and is now coordinated
at the parish level with support provided by its three major organizations.
