MAHALO & WELCOME!
Sr. Delfa Guillen, after spending 11 years teaching in the school and helping us out with the ministry at the Church, is taking a break. I understand she is moving on to their convent in Waianae. Our heartfelt thanks to her! Sr. Novie Omictin is joining our community. Let us extend to her a hearty welcome and we wish her many years of fruitful ministry here.
NEW ELECTRONIC PIANO
One of our parishioners has donated a new electronic piano and now we have no excuse for poor singing at our liturgies. Thank you for your generosity. May the new piano help us to sing praises to God from the heart.
BUILDING & MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE
I hope you are aware we have a maintenance and building committee fully active under the leadership of John Braum. The members of the committee are Norma Hara, Bill Neiderer and Jerry Angle. One of the items on the agenda was to re-surface the parking lot. It is now complete. Thanks for putting up with the inconvenience while the work was in progress. The committee is actively engaged in getting the plans ready for the new residence for the priests. I wish to put on record our sincere thanks for all their commitment.
ELECTRONIC CANDLES
I had mentioned sometime ago about the need to procure electronic candles for our candle room. That would prevent any fire hazards. Our research shows that the initial investment could be high. We could make up for it in the long run. An electronic candle-stand with forty lights costs $6500.00. We might need three of them to meet our average use. If any family or individual would like to donate a candle stand to the Church, let me know. It would be a lasting memorial for a family or even a single person.
GIFT SHOP
As you can see, the work on the gift shop is proceeding. The re-surfacing of the parking lot delayed the work a little. Now that the latter is over we can concentrate on the project. Jerry is working on it with diligence. We hope to bless and start functioning on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother.
Please help in keeping our Church facilities and premises clean. The groups using our meeting rooms please take care to clean up after you. We are putting in a lot of effort in this regard and your support is paramount.
Prayers and blessings!
Fr. Tom
As Christians, we are called to tend to all who are in need, not just those we find socially acceptable. We are called to look for Christ in our brothers and sisters and to care for them with love, not just as a task that must be carried out. Pray about it and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit … you can’t go wrong.
Prison Ministry involves going once a week to the Halawa Correctional Facility to assist in the celebration of Mass or a Communion Service with a deacon or trained volunteer.
There is training on how to conduct yourself, what to expect when you go, and forms to complete and be approved. You also have to be certified by the Department of Public Safety with the State of Hawaii. The Ministry is very much in need of volunteers and need your help. You only commit to serving on one Sunday each month.
