[Sacred Hearts Church, Lanai City (Confirmation & First Communion)]

Someone is bullied at school, and we just walk by, mostly so that we do not become bullied ourselves. We see that a friend is getting mixed up with the wrong crowd and is beginning to experiment with drugs, but we say nothing to the friend, because we do not want to be rejected. We are aware of an unmarried woman who is very poor or very young and pregnant, and we hope she will not have an abortion, but we do nothing to help her. We see that someone is terribly depressed because of the loss of a loved one, and we do not reach out to that person because we are just too busy.

You do not have to be traveling between Jerusalem and Jerico to be beaten up by the temptations and misfortunes of life. There are many people right here among us who are beaten up physically, emotionally, or spiritually – and who are often left for dead. Jesus, of course, as he did so many years ago, challenges us today not to walk by a suffering sister or brother but to stop and invest ourselves in that person’s recovery. Read more...

Arrion Rosales-Llantos had already registered for his third year at the University of Hawaii-Hilo, for classes in administration of justice and history, when he mentioned to his pastor in Kona that he was considering the priesthood as a career.

The pastor, Father Konelio Faletoi, urged him to enter the seminary “immediately.”

“I felt a lot like St. Matthew and his sudden call by Christ to follow him,” Rosales-Llantos said. “I had already applied for a dorm room with some friends for a third year at UH-Hilo. Instead, God asked me to follow him to the seminary. So I did.”

It was the right decision. Bishop Larry Silva was scheduled to ordain Rosales-Llantos a “transitional” deacon, July 1, at his home parish of St. Michael in Kailua-Kona. Read more...

“For I was hungry, and you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink…” ~Matthew 25:35

As record high inflation levels are significantly driving up the cost of food, the rate of hunger and food insecurity continues to increase here in Hawaii. Thankfully, many catholic parishes in our diocese remain committed to feeding the hungry in various ways: through food pantries, community gardens, hot meal programs, and partnerships with agencies such as IHS, Hale Kau Kau, the Salvation Army and much more!  Food ministries serving large populations are able to maintain their level of output by being a member agency with their local food bank. For example, the Hawaii Foodbank serves the islands of Oahu and Kauai; the Maui Food Bank serves Maui, Molokai and Lanai; and Hawaii Food Basket serves both east and west portions of the Big Island.

Through generous donations, these food banks are able to distribute non-perishable foods, fresh produce, dairy products, and bread to parish food pantries and other charitable organizations who feed those in need. No one should ever go to bed hungry. If you know someone struggling with food insecurity, please direct them to the appropriate agency for assistance. Read more...

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha
1656–1680
Memorial - July 14

Kateri (Iroquois for “Catherine”) Tekakwitha lived a short life of twenty-four years, the same age attained by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux when she died. Kateri’s father was a pagan Mohawk Chief and her mother a Christian Algonquin. The Mohawk people were the easternmost tribe of the larger Iroquois Confederacy. Her younger brother and both of her parents died in a smallpox epidemic which damaged young Kateri’s vision and scarred her face. She was taken in by an aunt and an uncle, the Chief of the Turtle Clan, and grew up in their longhouse. Over time she became expert in the domestic arts typical of the women of her tribe—fashioning animal skins into belts and clothes, weaving, cooking, etc… Kateri was shy, perhaps due to her impaired vision and damaged skin. But she listened carefully. Very carefully. Jesuit missionaries visited her relative’s home and taught them about Jesus Christ and the Catholic religion. Read more...
