Get FREE* flu shots for the whole family on Sunday, September 27 between 8 and 11 a.m.
St. John Vianney Parish is making it safe and convenient to get your flu shot this year by bringing CVS Health to our Parish Center lanai on Sunday, September 27. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highly recommends getting your flu shot this fall not only to reduce your risk from flu but also to help conserve potentially scarce health care resources. Because influenza viruses are always changing, the flu vaccine is reviewed annually and updated, as needed, to keep up. By getting your flu shot, you avoid exposing those around you, especially those who are unable to get the flu shot themselves. |
Register for your time slot for SJV's On Site Flu Clinic directly on the CVS website. (No personal or health information will be collected by the parish.) *No cost with most insurance.

August 20, 2020 Update due to Act Now Honolulu - No Social Gatherings Order
|
Singing during the celebration of the Mass or at any other church gathering is suspended until September 16, 2020. Non-wind instruments will continue to be used during the Sunday liturgies. We share with you a special recording of Music Director Robert Mondoy performing a profoundly beautiful and emotional song titled "Shelter Me," this weekend's intended 'preparation of the gifts' song. The Rev. Michael Joncas composed and published "Shelter Me" in response to the global crisis of COVID-19. The composer encourages making a donation to groups that are offering physical, emotional and spiritual care in this time of crisis, including Catholic Charities USA, Lutheran Social Service and/or the American Red Cross. Please consider supporting the work of our parish which serves the greater Kailua and Enchanted Lake community.
