[Sacred Hearts Church, Lanai City (Eucharistic Revival Catechesis)]

The moon is a beautiful object. It lights up the night sky and has inspired music and poetry for centuries. Yet we know that the light of the moon is reflected light. It is really the sun that shines at night by reflecting its own light from the moon. So it is with us who are called to be the light of the world. We are called to bring the light of love where there is hatred, the light of knowledge where there is ignorance, the light of peace where there is discord, and the light of hope where there is despair. Yet our light is also a reflected light, because it is Christ who is the true light, the true Sun. His light is reflected to others through us, and we proudly shine that light so that others may give glory to God, the source of light. Read more...

Bishop Larry Silva ordained Oahu native Michael “Maiki” Kamauoha as a Sacred Hearts priest on Jan. 24, the last of six ordinations to the priesthood for the religious congregation’s U.S. province that began in the fall.

Father Kamauoha, who is known to family and friends as Maiki (pronounced Mikey), was ordained at St. Patrick Church in Kaimuki, the only parish in the diocese owned and operated by the Sacred Hearts fathers and brothers.

The evening Mass was filled with personal touches: a Hawaiian oli (prayer chant) ahead of the processional, a Fijian “Kyrie Eleison,” and music led by Father Kamauoha’s cousin, Kainoa Fukumoto. His parents, Mary and Allen Kamauoha presented him with a lei and his chalice, and his siblings, Malia Walker, Miki Kamauoha, and Mahealani Raymond carried up the offertory gifts. His goddaughter, Maile Fukumoto, sang the responsorial psalm. Read more...

From the Office for Social Ministry

At this year’s Diocese of Honolulu Red Mass, Hawaii politicians gathered with Bishop Larry Silva to ask for blessings in the new legislative session. Rob Van Tassel, CEO and President of Catholic Charities Hawaii, served as the Red Mass featured guest speaker. In his talk, ‘Hope that leads to justice’ the theme of the Red Mass - Hawaii Catholic Herald Mr. Van Tassel quoted the late Pope Benedict XVI: “Charity cannot take the place of justice that has been denied.” He also shared how charitable works were connected with advocacy for justice in the history of Maryknoll missionary sisters establishing Catholic Charities Hawaii after World War II.

Saint Scholastica
c. 480–543
Memorial – February 10

Little is known about the life of Saint Scholastica, yet her influence upon the Church is undeniable. She was born into a wealthy family around the year 480 AD, in the town of Nursia, central Italy, shortly after the fall of the Western Roman emperor. It was a chaotic time, politically speaking, but also a time when God began to manifest His divine stability through her. She had one brother, most likely a twin, by the name of Benedict. Benedict and Scholastica are now honored as great saints. Both had a powerful influence upon monastic life as we have it today, Benedict being the father of Western monasticism and Scholastica its mother. Read more...
