Hawaii Catholic Herald
The cause for the beatification and canonization of American layman Joseph Dutton is gaining traction, judging from the enthusiastic reception at its first major fundraising event, a gala luncheon and silent auction Nov. 9 at the Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu.
About 500 people attended the midday event, including officials for the cause and Hansen’s disease patients from Kalaupapa where Dutton served the final 44 years of his life, working alongside St. Damien de Veuster and St. Marianne Cope.
The cause for the canonization of Dutton, who has been given the designation “Servant of God,” is making good progress, one of the key participants in the process told the attendees.
Msgr. Robert Sarno, retired official for the Vatican Congregation for the Causes of Saints who had helped the cause of St. Marianne and whom Bishop Larry Silva appointed as his delegate for Dutton’s canonization process, gave the update. Read more...

Matthew wrestles with estrangement from his family. Andrew visits an imprisoned John the Baptist. Mary and the women must find a source of income. Simon and Eden face the costs of following Jesus.

Saint of the Week

St. Andrew the Apostle
First Century
Feast – November 30
Andrew was a fisherman from Bethsaida in Northern Israel. He lived on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, which is really a lake, where many of Jesus’ miracles took place. Jesus chose mostly fishermen and small farmers to be His disciples, perhaps because in these professions a man can plan, sweat, and calculate, and still, in the end, fail. Success is not appreciated unless failure is an option. Farmers and fishermen must depend on God’s providence for success. No amount of preparation can make the clouds open and the rains pour down, and no amount of careful planning will make the nets burst with fish. Farmers and fishermen are hard-working, careful, thoughtful, and yet entirely dependent on the weather and other factors outside of their control. They must work, pray and trust in God in equal measure. They must have the discipline of faith. These are the qualities that made Andrew and
others such great disciples. Read more...
