[Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Honokaa]

Today, throughout our diocese, we are asking all the parishes to begin a seven-week series of instructions on the Holy Eucharist. This is part of our participation in the National Eucharistic Revival initiated by the U.S. bishops, so that we can better appreciate the incredible gift of God-with-us, Emmanuel, that we receive in the Eucharist. It is the continuing real presence of Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, so that he can form a body for himself and continue his healing and saving work among us.

One of the greatest temptations of our faith is to think that the Gospels are only about the past, and that they recall events that took place long ago and far away. In fact, the Word of God is living and active, and what we hear in the Gospels is as much about the present as it is about the past. Read more...

The chief executive officer and president of Catholic Charities Hawaii, Robert “Rob” Van Tassell, will be the guest speaker at the annual diocesan Red Mass at 9 a.m., Jan. 17, in the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace.

The topic of his presentation is “75 years of hope that transforms, action that heals and charity that brings justice.”

He said he will address the “Maryknoll roots of Catholic Charities Hawaii” and how its “treasured past has led us to where we are today and where we are going.” Read more...

Epiphany of the Lord
Solemnity – January 8

All of God’s creation gives Him glory and praises Him by its very existence. Psalm 143 states, “Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all shining stars. Praise him, highest heavens, you waters above the heavens. Let them all praise the LORD’s name; for he commanded and they were created…” Though creation gives praise to God simply by existing and thus, revealing its Creator, today’s solemnity commemorates the one moment in time when God used a star to manifest His eternal glory.
