Hawaii Catholic Herald

“In every curia a chancellor is to be appointed whose principal function, unless particular law establishes otherwise, is to take care that acts of the curia are gathered, arranged, and safeguarded in the archive of the curia.” (Canon Law 482 §1)

The role of chancellor might bring to mind associations with heads of state, royal officials or high-ranking university leaders. But a Catholic chancellor’s role focuses much more on a paper trail.

Deacon Keith Cabiles, the Diocese of Honolulu’s chancellor since January 2019, recently talked with the Hawaii Catholic Herald about his role.

His responsibilities include being the diocesan archivist, chief records manager and chief notary. Read more...

Saint of the Week

Saint Peter Julian Eymard
1811–1868
Memorial – August 2

Peter Julian Eymard was born to devout parents and was the youngest of ten children, eight of whom died in infancy. His mother, especially devout, taught him the faith well. From an early age, Peter developed a profound devotion to the Blessed Mother and the Eucharist. His devotion to the Blessed Mother was intensified as a child when he made a pilgrimage to the Marian shrine of Our Lady of Laus, where the Blessed Mother had appeared to a young shepherd girl a century earlier. Peter’s love for the Eucharist also began at a young age. One story relates that, at the age of five, Peter was missing from home. He was found in the local church standing next to the tabernacle. When his sister asked what he was doing, he reportedly said, “I am near Jesus and I am listening to him!” Read more...
