A delegation of nine Belgians was in Hawaii this month to commemorate the 150th anniversary of their revered countryman, St. Damien de Veuster, stepping foot on Molokai, and to sign a “commitment statement” with Bishop Larry Silva, Hawaii’s Gov. Josh Green, Maui Mayor Richard Bissen, Kalaupapa residents, representatives of religious communities associated with Kalaupapa, and others.
Most were officials from Tremelo, the saint’s birthplace.
The document was “inspired by the legacy of the people of Kalaupapa, to whom Damien belonged, and the inseparable bond that exists between Tremelo and Kalaupapa.”
The 13 signatories agreed to “work together against all possible forms of unjust exclusion and to propagate and put into practice the values of ohana, malama and aloha. In particular, the partners will promote a correct and inclusive language and imagery, regarding Hansen’s disease and those affected by it, to respect everyone’s dignity.” Read more...

A small group of Maui quilters turn a home craft into a warm-hearted ministry touching many
By Jennifer Rector
Hawaii Catholic Herald
Square black-and-white fabric patches printed with the logo of NFL Raiders football team are arranged diagonally beside squares of blue, orange and other colors. Together they fashion a personal quilt, a special blanket of love created for a special person by a special ministry on Maui. The seven quilters add the final touch — hand-tied knots at the corners of each square — as they whisper prayers for the special intentions of the quilt’s intended recipient.
Once finished, the handmade creation is given four church blessings, first at Holy Ghost Mission in Kula at the Saturday vigil Mass; at the 7 a.m. Mass the next day at Our Lady Queen of Angels in Keokea; then back to Holy Ghost Mission for the 9:30 a.m. Mass; and finally at the 12:30 p.m. Mass at St. James the Less Mission in Ulupalakua. The three churches all belong to Our Lady Queen of Angels Parish. Read more...

Saint of the Week

Fra Angelico, The Forerunners of Christ with Saints and Martyrs,1420s.
Solemnity of All Saints
November 1
On the first day of November, we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints, a celebration honoring all men and women who have entered Heaven. While this includes every soul in Heaven, the focus is particularly on those who led extraordinarily holy lives on earth and that the Church has canonized as saints. These individuals honored God in a variety of ways: through deep prayer and mystical union, through enduring martyrdom or other forms of religious persecution, and through acts of service, such as caring for the needy or teaching the faith. Some saints were powerful preachers or miracle workers. Others were leaders, some lived in obscurity, and still others experienced exile or made significant personal sacrifices for their faith. In various ways, these saints glorified God during their lifetimes. Read more...
