On each day, the Novena to Our Lady Of Guadalupe and the Chaplet Of Divine Mercy will be prayed. Ideally, Mass, Adoration, and Reconciliation will also be celebrated at each Parish.
This lifesize Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is an exact 100% replica copy of the original image at the Basilica in Mexico City. It was blessed in Mexico with the seal of the Bishop and a serial # on it. Framed in the United States, the image first appeared at the 1st Marian Conference in 1994 at the Waikiki Shell. The last time this Image of Our Lady Of Guadalupe appeared in Hawaii was at the last Marian Conference at the Neil Blaisdell Arena.

About Joe
Joe Melendrez has forged a unique path to becoming one of America’s most exciting Catholic performers. His journey began at age fifteen when he appeared on MTV, sparking a passion for performance. It was during a Teen A.C.T.S. Retreat later that year where Joe experienced a profound encounter with God’s love, inspiring him to commit his life to spreading the Good News, , and releasing five major Catholic hip-hop albums. Joe shares the Gospel in many unique ways, including founding a faith-based clothing line, God Swagg Apparels. Notably, he creatively uses opportunities like winning a year of free Chipotle burritos as a means to evangelize with each meal.
Equipped with a BA in Religious Studies from the University of Dayton, Joe has served as a Religion Teacher and Youth Minister for over a decade.
In addition to his work in Catholic education, his dynamic ministry extends globally, from electrifying audiences across Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, and the USA, to captivating crowds at major youth rallies, conferences, and national events.
Today, Joe Melendrez thrives as a devoted husband and father, natural MC, dynamic musical performer, inspirational speaker, and expert retreat leader.
There is no charge for the event but a freewill love offering will be taken to help Joe’s ministry
About Peter
Peter Cruz of St. of Anthony, Kailua, will speak first on the topic, “Our Saints — Witnesses of the True Presence”
Cruz moved with his family to Hawaii from the Philippines when he was 5 years old and has come to be the custodian of numerous Relics of Saints. He first became fascinated with the stories of saints when he was 14. Later, after his older friend showed him her relic collection and even took him on one of her pilgrimages to Europe, his devotion continued to grow.
He eventually joined a group called the International Crusade for Holy Relics. That organization in turn sent him Relics to use in his parish presentations. When his older friend passed, she bequeathed to him her collection and now he has about 300 1st, 2nd and 3rd-class relics.
Cruz used a slideshow with photographs of Saints because showing the real faces of saints brings the faithful closer to them than do embellished or idealized statues and paintings.
“I think every Catholic, and even non-Catholics, can learn from and be deeply inspired by the example of the saints,” Cruz said. “The manner in which they were able to face life’s many challenges — big and small — with such hope, peace, and even joy is a powerful testimony of the Gospel message.”
There is no charge for the event but a freewill love offering will be graciously accepted.
TRAVELING DIOCESAN JUBILEE CROSS
February 10 – 14, ST PIUS X CHURCH MANOA
This is the Diocesan Jubilee Cross for the 2025 Jubilee of Hope. As part of the worldwide Jubilee celebrations, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, asked each Diocese around the globe to prepare and bless a Jubilee Cross that represents or has meaning for the Diocese. Deacon Ray Lamb of the Co-Cathedral of Saint Theresa designed this cross, which features icons from the holy door at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. This cross will travel to parishes throughout the diocese as a symbol of hope to the faithful of the Diocese of Honolulu.
During the week of February 10 to February 14, the Traveling Diocesan Jubilee Cross will be here at St. Pius X Church. The traveling cross will remain here for a week “so that people can gather and pray around the cross as a way to connected to the Holy Father and the events in Rome.” Father Guerrero said participants will be able to obtain a plenary indulgence associated with the Holy Year. Bishop Silva will also lead a pilgrimage to Rome in the fall. The Office of Worship and the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis are helping to organize Jubilee Year events. Father Guerrero highlighted the traveling cross as a unique feature of the Diocese of Honolulu’s commemoration, and also noted that the study days are significant because they offer faith formation opportuni[1]ties that had diminished since the COVID-19 pandemic. Local events alongside official Holy Year activities is important, Father Guerrero said, because they can “bring hope to local communities that God has not abandoned his people in this time of uncertainty.”
The traveling cross is also a reminder that we, all the faithful, are “pilgrims of hope.”
