Hiking Ministry

Summer is bringing a great new addition to the Our Lady of Good Counsel Young Adult Ministry agenda. In following the life and ways of our patron, Blessed Pierre Giorgio Frassati, the Young Adults will be starting a monthly rosary hiking ministry. Blessed Pierre would often invite friends and neighbors to hike the hills of Turin, Italy with him while saying the rosary. He was a great witness to all he invited and many hearts were converted to the Church through their experience with Blessed Pierre.

It is our hope that through our rosary hikes we will build our faith in Christ, establish disciplined prayer habits in our lives, and learn to be stewards of God’s great creation through appreciating the beautiful mountains and valleys Gods has blessed us with here in Hawaii.

We would like to open our new ministry to our parish family and have scheduled three hikes so far. Each of them are on Saturdays, from 1pm – 4pm. We ask that each person bring a simple day pack (a back pack) with water, a small snack, extra clothes as needed (i.e. a sweater or hat), and of course a rosary (If you do not have one, one will be provided) We hope you join us as we meditate on the life of Blessed Pierre and the mysteries of the most holy rosary.
