Speaking to pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis recalled the Gospel in today's liturgy when Jesus bid farewell to his disciples at the Last Supper, saying “Peace I leave with you,” and immediately adding “My peace I give to you.”

These words express Jesus' affection and serenity, despite the moment being anything but serene, since Judas left to betray him, Peter is about to deny him and almost others will abandon him, the Pope observed, yet the Lord remains calm and kind to the end.

As the woman praying before the relics of Sts. Damien and Marianne rose from kneeling in front of the altar at the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Honolulu on April 25, she wiped tears from her eyes.

Her emotions stemmed from her connection to the Molokai saints through someone who worked with them and is in the early days of his own path to sainthood: lay Catholic Joseph Dutton.

The woman, Kathleen “Kay” Ethington-Vogrinc, had come to Hawaii in April with a pilgrimage group of 27 people from the Diocese of Rockford in northern Illinois. Read more...

From HOPE Services Hawaiʻi

Kailua-Kona – 20 longtime Hawaiʻi residents moved into Hope Services shelters this week, offering a reprieve from life without shelter, running water, or safety.

The residents, who had pitched eleven tents outside the Kona Community Aquatic Center, told outreach workers they had previously taken refuge in the bushes at the Old Kona Airport Park, but were forced out when the county performed a sweep of the park ahead of a concert earlier this month. Without assistance finding shelter, the residents moved down the road, relocating to just outside the community pool.

Soon after, the calls began.

“We started receiving calls and emails from the county, business owners, and concerned citizens asking us to help these folks,” says Hope Outreach Team Lead Carrie Hoʻopiʻi. “The county called a meeting, and asked if we could offer them shelter. Our shelters were already pretty full, and I wasn’t sure we’d be able to find space for everyone, but I told them we would try.” Read more...

From the Office for Social Ministry

Social ministry is a vital part of living our faith – as outlined in Matthew 25, where Jesus calls each of us to better our communities by caring for each other in meaningful ways. No doubt, our lay ministers and volunteers who lead these efforts are the lifeblood of our parishes and it is imperative we continue to foster the growth and mentorship of new leaders to keep that tradition of Witnessing to Jesus alive.

Our diocese pastoral plan Stewards of the Gospel encourages parishes to “develop leaders who have the vision of taking the Gospel out to the ‘highways and byways’ of the world in which we live…”  By ministering to those in our communities who are most vulnerable, parish social ministry leaders make it possible for volunteers to feed the hungry; provide necessities for the poor; visit those in prison; reach out and stand in solidarity with persons who are marginalized; and to give voice to the silent.

Parent Information Nights on June 1

Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE)
Let us uphold the profound dignity of the body, especially the body of our keiki! Our design speaks “gift” but the world tells us to exploit the utility of the body. 

If you desire your children to receive a sexual education that aligns with the original design of the Creator and St. John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body” then we invite their participation in SRAE where we will: proclaim the truth of masculinity, the beauty hidden in femininity, and the goodness of reserving the sexual union within marriage. 

Parent information sessions include ways to be intentional with your children, dialogue with them to set boundaries and protect their sexual integrity.

Empower your ‘ohana! Register at https://hamauiloko.org/.

 Saint Philip Neri
1515–1595
Memorial - May 26

Saint Philip was born into a well-educated, Catholic, middle-class home. He carried himself all his life with the bearing of an amiable, well-read, finely dressed, shrewd individual who knew no enemies. After growing up in Florence, he moved to Rome and spent many years as a layman studying theology and helping the poor in practical ways. While still a layman, Philip founded a group to care for the many impoverished pilgrims who came to Rome. He befriended the great reformer Saint Ignatius of Loyola, who wanted Philip to become a Jesuit. But after encouragement from his confessor, Philip was ordained a secular priest in 1551. Soon afterward, he had to formalize the large following he generated that wanted to live more fully the life he preached and modeled. Read more...
