All Saints Day; Tuesday within the Thirty-First Week of Ordinary Time (V44)
Click on Web Version above for best viewing of this eNewsLetter

Please note that in the Diocese of Honolulu, in addition to all Sundays of the year, there are only two Holy Days of Obligation on which the faithful are obliged to attend Mass: December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary; and December 25, Christmas (which falls on a Sunday this year).  Be sure to check your parish’s Mass schedule for these special days of our faith.

Loving God, as our civic elections approach, fill us with the light of your Holy Spirit and the wisdom and courage to be faithful citizens.  Guide us with your Spirit to exercise our responsibility to vote, but to first study the candidates and issues according to your will.  Let us vote for people and policies that will affirm life in all its stages, from conception to natural death; that will strengthen marriage and the family according to your will; that will make us more attentive to the needs of the homeless and the vulnerable; and that will lead us to be “one nation, under God.”  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.

[Korean Catholic Community at St. Andrew Taegon Oratory, Honolulu]

Today you climbed a tree to see Jesus.  You took the time out of your busy schedule to drive to this church and to encounter Jesus.  Maybe you only expect to see him from a distance as he passes by, then you can go home just a little more satisfied.  But what if Jesus stops in his tracks, looks at you, and says he wants to go to your house?

What happened to Zacchaeus so many centuries ago could happen to you, if you open your hearts to the call of Jesus.  Zacchaeus was surprised by such great mercy and love, and this caused him not only to entertain Jesus in his own house but to change his dishonest and greedy ways.  And so it can be for each one of us.

Zacchaeus collected taxes for Rome, the Empire that occupied and oppressed Israel at that time.  He was a traitor to his own heritage.  Yet somehow he opened his heart enough that it could be changed, and Jesus welcomes him into the Kingdom of God.  Read more...

About 90 people filled the Mystical Rose Oratory at Chaminade University of Honolulu on Oct. 9 to hear Marianist Father James L. Heft speak on the topic of “Empty Churches: Where have all the young people gone?”

The answer? There are many factors, and Catholics shouldn’t lose hope for the younger generations, according to Father Heft.

In his engaging, 50-minute lecture, the priest used frequent anecdotes from his 60 years as a Marianist and research done at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies (IACS).  Read more...

According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS), working-age veterans have a 7.4 percent greater risk of experiencing food insecurity than non-veterans. Higher food insecurity with Veterans can be attributed to variations by health and disability status, age, gender and geography. (Center of Strategic and International Studies). 

Across the nation, communities rally to supplement outreach to men and women who served in uniform, to include veterans who are food insecure and homeless.  Each year, the Point in Time Count (PIT) gathers homeless data on all islands and in every community across the nation.  A statewide total of 347 sheltered and unsheltered veterans were engaged during Hawaii’s 2022 PIT.  Read more...

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.

Twenty-five years have passed since the death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, sparking a renewed interest in this spiritual giant of the 20th century. Filmed on 5 continents and featuring unprecedented access to both institutional archives and the apostolates of the Missionaries of Charity, this film reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ in the poor continues to be realized through the Missionaries of Charity today. This is far more than a documentary. It is at once a soaring tribute to a spiritual icon, a powerful witness of authentic Christian charity, and a guidepost for all who seek hope in our turbulent times.

Adults: $11, Children: $9

Tickets available at stjohnmililani.org.

Solemnity of All Saints
All Saints Day
Solemnity – November 1

Heaven is populated with uncanonized holy men and women known to God alone

Martyrs were so revered in the early Church that their places and dates of death were sanctified by the candles, prayers, and votive offerings of the faithful grateful for their witness. So many were the martyrs, though, that by the early fourth-century it became impossible to solemnize each individually on the Church’s crowded calendar. There thus arose, over centuries, and in different ways in different regions, the custom of commemorating the memory of all the holy ones on one specific day of the year. By the early eighth-century, a Feast of All Saints was celebrated in Rome on November 1. The Feast was extended to the entire Church in the next century.  Read more...
