Bishop Larry Silva celebrated a solemn All Souls Day Mass Nov. 2 at Sacred Hearts Church in Kapalua, with wildfire survivors and parishioners of Lahaina’s historic Maria Lanakila Church.

“We have come today to lament with you, to mourn with you, and to grieve with you,” Bishop Silva said in his homily, standing next to rows of flickering candles, each representing a loved one lost in the devastating Lahaina wildfire on Aug. 8.

“The grief over loss of property, loss of jobs and loss of precious memories pales in comparison with the grief that we feel over the deaths of those brothers and sisters whose names are recalled to us here,” he said. “They were, to most of you, much more than names on candles, and the grief over their loss is deep.”

However, Bishop Silva also offered hope, even from the depths of despair. Read more...

From the Office for Social Ministry

This year November 19 is the World Day of the Poor. On that Sunday, here in Hawaii all parishes will participate in the US Bishop’s annual national second collection in support of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development - CCHD, which helps people work together to respond to complex challenges of poverty across the United States. CCHD was founded in 1970 as a US Catholic Church’s response to systemic poverty. Over the last 50 years, CCHD has given more than $440 million in grants supporting parishioners’ involvement in 12,000 community-based organizations working to overcome poverty. More than 12,000 parishes are currently engaged with the work of CCHD-funded groups, enabling Catholics of all ages to address and transform poverty in their community and provide opportunities for parishioners to go out to the peripheries, to “touch and heal the wounds of others.”

It is important to remember that 25% of the annual CCHD collection in our diocese stays right here in Hawaii to help our local neighbors in need. Read more...

The Diocese of Honolulu - Eucharistic Revival Pilgrimage started on November 1.

This Year of Parish Revival is about falling deeper in love with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and following him more closely. Mirroring this internal journey with an external one is a beautiful way to connect body and soul in the pursuit of Christ. Most of us will not have the opportunity to join the Euchaistic Caravan on the mainland leading to the Eucharistic Congress on July 17, 2024 in Indianapolis.

We can participate in the revival here at home. Make the Honolulu Diocese Pilgrimage a part of your experience of revival by planning a self-led personal pilgrimage in the next months leading up to the beginning of the Eucharistic Caravan in San Francisco.

The Diocese of Honolulu offers a Hawaii Eucharist Revival virtual pilgrimage called Hawaii Pilgrim HERE or by getting the Polarsteps - Travel Tracker app for your digital device. Sign up for a free Polarsteps account. Enter “Hawaii Pilgrim” on the Explore (Search people & places) tab. Click on “Follow” and begin your journey. Use Hawaii Pilgrim to find church addresses, Mass, adoration and other regularly scheduled events when the church will be open.

Saint Gertrude the Great
1256–1302
Memorial – November 16

Saint Gertrude the Great is the only female saint to be given the title “the Great,” which Pope Benedict XIV bestowed on her in the mid-eighteenth century as a way of highlighting her extraordinary contribution to mystical theology. Nothing is known about Gertrude’s early childhood or family origin, other than that she was born in Eisleben, Thuringia, in the Holy Roman Empire, modern-day Germany. At the age of five, she was entrusted to the Monastery of Saint Mary in the neighboring town of Helfta, which was later moved to Hackeborn property. Why she entered the convent at such a young age is not known. Most likely, either her parents offered their daughter to God in this then-customary way, or Gertrude might have been an orphan.
