Bishop's Homily for the Twenty-Eighth Sunday of Ordinary Time

(Jacob_09/Shutterstock.com)

[Holy Rosary Church, Paia]

It would be wrong to presume that the nine people with leprosy who did not return to Jesus after their healing were ungrateful.  They probably were so anxious to go back to their homes, from which they had to be separated, that reunion with family and friends was their highest priority.  I cannot imagine that they did not excitedly tell their loved ones about Jesus and how he had healed them.  It would also be wrong to presume that because Jesus criticized them for not returning to give thanks that Jesus therefore re-inflicted them.  He still loved them, and he still wanted them to enjoy the gift of good health and reintegration into society.  Read more...

The Woman Who Made the Canonization Happen

Sister Mary Laurence Hanley listens as Pope John Paul II and Richard Marks talk in St. Peter’s Square in 1983 when Hanley and Marks were part of a contingent from Hawaii that also met with the pope in the anteroom of his private chapel in the Vatican to acquaint him with the Cause of Mother Marianne.

By Valerie Monson
Special to the Hawaii Catholic Herald

When Blessed Marianne Cope was canonized 10 years ago in Rome, there was one empty space in St. Peter’s Square. One empty space among the hundreds of pilgrims who traveled from Hawaii and Syracuse, N.Y., to herald the naming of a second saint from Kalaupapa.

The missing person was Sister Mary Laurence Hanley, whose name many of you have never heard, but one you should remember. If it hadn’t been for Sister Mary Laurence and her years of faith, perseverance and exhausting research, there would probably be no Saint Marianne. Mother Marianne Cope certainly lived the eholy life of caring for people in Hawaii who had leprosy, but she needed a tireless champion to chronicle her virtues long after her death and convince the Vatican that she deserved the title “Saint.” Read more...

Healing Hunger in Hawaii - Part Two

From the Office for Social Ministry

According the Hawaii Food Bank, nearly a quarter-million Hawaii residents are struggling to put food on the table, including isolated kupuna and more than 82,000 keiki.

That’s why organizations like Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger relief organization in America, is urging everyone to continue their efforts to help heal hunger even after September ends. Whether it’s the first, middle or last week of the month, food is a necessity no matter what time of the year. Feeding those who are hungry is a moral imperative and essential to our Catholic Social Teaching.

And although many people are returning to work after the pandemic, food banks on all islands are still overwhelmed with high demand and food supply shortages due to inflation and the rising cost of food.  Read more...

"Hope Heal Renew" - A Virtual Catholic Catechetical Conference, Nov 3-5

November 3 - 5, 2022

The theme of this year's Hope, Heal, Renew Catholic Virtual Conference is Gratefully Rejoicing as the Body of Christ can be understood as emblematic of Christian discipleship: that the Risen Christ accompanies us, teaches us, nourishes us by His Real Presence in the Eucharist, and sends us – gratefully rejoicing – to be life for the world as He is for us.

Whether participating as an individual, household, or watch party, you will find a welcoming community of faith as we explore this theme through experiences of prayer, liturgy, and spiritual retreat; lively and interactive presentations; conversation and laughter during “meet ups” with fellow participants, conference planners and exhibitors; and so much more.

Saint of the Week

Saint John XXIII, Pope
1881 – 1963
Memorial – October 11

Pope Saint John XXIII was born Angelo Roncalli into a large, humble, rural family in a mountainous region of Northern Italy. He entered the local minor seminary at the age of eleven and persevered in his philosophical and theological studies, both locally and in Rome, until his ordination in 1904. Angelo had the good fortune to know, serve, and study under a succession of well-educated, charitable, and holy pastors. Both his formal and informal Church-sponsored education created in him the winning combination of rustic common sense, broad historical vision, and cultural openness that would mark his entire life. His simple, but not simplistic, farm background, stellar education, profound life of prayer, and total immersion in the rich Catholic life and history of his native region formed and molded him into a great man.
