Holy Sovereigns' Sunday



On November 22 we celebrate Holy Sovereigns Sunday in the Episcopal Church in Hawaiʻi, honoring King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma who invited the Church of England to Hawai’i in 1860.

The King and Queen supported the Church's establishment throughout the islands with gifts of land, and by founding the Cathedral of St. Andrew in Honolulu.

Queen Emma also founded Queen's Hospital (now Queen's Medical Center) and St. Andrew's Priory School for Girls in Honolulu.


The King and Queen are honored as saints in The Episcopal Church every year on November 28.

Christmas is a season of hope, joy, family, cherished memories, and most importantly,

the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.


This Christmas, many families and kūpuna are struggling. Once again, our

Holy Nativity Sunday School

children will hold a Christmas Bake Sale to raise funds to help 10 families and

kūpuna in need.


The funds raised will help provide Christmas gifts, holiday meals, clothing, shoes,

school supplies, toys, towels, bedding, cooking utensils, household necessities, and

other needed items for the families and kūpuna we are supporting.


Together, let us bring a little more hope, peace, love, and joy into the lives of our

neighbors this Christmas.


Bake with love. Give with joy. Share the blessings of Christmas.


If you are interested in baking for the sale, please click here for the bake sale guidelines -- and mahalo for

your offering!
