‘Ohana in Christ Appeal to Launch Year Three in October
|
 |
|
Aloha to All,
Peace be with you!
Each day, the Catholic Church in Hawaii shares the Spirit of Christ throughout our ‘Ohana of parishes, schools, social agencies, and communities across the Islands. This is all possible thanks to your generous response to our Catholic mission and the call to Witness to Jesus.
Beyond the good works at each parish, the annual ‘Ohana in Christ appeal helps us respond to the material and spiritual needs of the greater church. As detailed in the list below, funds raised support many important services and ministries throughout the Diocese of Honolulu that no single faith community could meet alone.
I am deeply grateful for the ways you have contributed to this work in the past. Once again, I humbly ask for you to prayerfully consider making a generous gift to this important appeal. Please know that I pray for you and your loved ones each day - and will remember all donors in a special Mass.
In the Spirit of Christ - and together as ‘Ohana in Christ - we can and will respond to the Lord’s call and continue to build His Kingdom.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Larry Silva
Bishop of Honolulu

Missionary Families of Christ Endorsed to Minister in Diocese of Honolulu
Dear Mr. Vistavilla,
Peace be with you!
Thank you for the Zoom meeting yesterday with you and your colleagues, during which you asked that I endorse the Missionary Families of Christ to minister in the Diocese of Honolulu.
I am happy to grant permission for the Missionary Families of Christ to minister in the Diocese of Honolulu, effective immediately. The only condition is that you must also have the written permission of the pastor to work in any particular parish in the diocese.
Thank you for all you do to evangelize and to strengthen family life! May your work bear much good fruit for the service of the Lord and his people!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Larry Silva
Bishop of Honolulu

A smile. A wave. A hug. A bottle of water. An attentive and compassionate ear. A shoulder to cry on. A prayer.
A ministry of presence.
A steady stream of priests and deacons from across the diocese has been making its way to west Maui to provide spiritual support for the victims of the Lahaina wildfires, the worst natural disaster ever to hit the state of Hawaii.
Called the Maui Mercy Mission, it was initiated 10 days after the tragic fires leveled Lahaina town, killing at least 115 people, with a letter from Bishop Larry Silva to Hawaii’s deacons and priests. Read more...

From the Sisters of Sacred Hearts at St. Anthony Retreat Center
COME, LET US ADORE THE LORD!
To live our mission more fully and in union with the Eucharistic Revival in the Church, the Sisters of Sacred Hearts at St. Anthony Retreat Center, located at 3351 Kalihi Street, would like to invite the faithful to participate in our Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament on two occasions.
1) Thursday before the First Friday of each month from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Our Sisters in the Pacific, Massachusetts, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines keep a continuous 24-hour adoration before the Blessed Sacrament on this day each month for local and worldwide intentions, and
2) The Third Thursday of each month from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. for the faithful in Hawaii, especially for the intentions of local families. We encourage you to attend the Holy Hours as families because in the words of Father Peyton, “families who pray together, stay together.” Individuals are, of course, also most welcome.
Together may our relationship with Jesus deepen and bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart in our hearts, in our homes, and in the world!

Wednesday, November 8, 2023 at 6:00 p.m.
Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, downtown Honolulu
This year marks the 140th year of the arrival of Mother Marianne and the first Franciscan Sisters to Hawaii. The celebration will take place on November 8, 2023, at the Cathedral Basilica with Mass at 6:00 p.m. Prior to the Mass, there will be a dramatization of the arrival. A dialogue between Mother Marianne and the Bishop, a chant of a verse of King Kalakaua's hymn of the coming of the Sisters, and a lamentation of sadness will accompany the narration. There was great joy that the Sisters had answered the plea for help, but sadness at the same time because the high ranking officials who represented the King and Queen knew what the Sisters would encounter in their life-giving service. The Mass itself will highlight a special tribute to Mother Marianne.
Contact Sr. Marie Romano at srmromano@aol.com for more info or to offer assistance if needed.

Sts. Andrew Kim Tae-gŏn, Paul Chŏng Ha-sang, and Companions
Nineteenth Century
Memorial – September 20
From 1392–1897, the Great Joseon Dynasty ruled all of what is today North and South Korea. Though shamanism and Buddhism were among the religious beliefs of Koreans during that period, Confucianism was the main philosophical, ethical, and political system. Within that system, a clear hierarchy was established within the family and social structures, with the king on top. This class system was at the heart of their culture. Ancestors were also highly honored and even ritually worshiped, and various human virtues were emphasized, studied, and fostered.
Catholicism was first introduced into Korea via China. The Jesuit Matteo Ricci was one of the first missionaries to step foot in China and introduce the Catholic faith in 1583. Read more...
