This favorite quote of Mother Mary Joseph is lived out clearly in the ministry of Sister Felista Wanzagi who serves in Hawaii. Many of us know the beauty of the Hawaiian beaches but do not always see those who sleep in tents or on the streets. Sister Felista serves with joy and compassion in ministries that bring hope to some of the community’s most vulnerable people.

Each day, she walks alongside those who are often overlooked, such as those experiencing homelessness and those receiving hospice care. Whether serving meals at the Catholic Worker, ministering to those in hospice or in a religion class with young students at Maryknoll Elementary School, she has discovered the same truth: every person longs to be seen, respected, and loved.

With the growing “pandemic of loneliness”, Sister Felista’s outreach in these much-needed ministries is made possible due to the generosity of faithful supporters. Please continue to help Sister Felista accompany those who are most vulnerable offering help and the reassurance that they are never forgotten. She thanks you from the bottom of her heart.
