Bishop Larry Silva’s “Bishop’s Circle” letter will be headed for your mailbox sometime over the next couple of weeks. This year, his particular concern is “priests” — specifically,
our priests. “They make a special commitment,” he writes, “especially given the demands of ministry and the complexity of leading a parish in today’s world. As we ask our priests to handle a myriad of responsibilities in building the Kingdom of God, we also have a duty to care for them,” the bishop says, “from the early days of nurturing their vocation, and covering their seminary education, through their pastoral ministry, and after decades of service into their golden years.”

New Bible Study for our parish
Many people want to read the Bible because they know it is God’s Word, but they give up because it seems so complicated.
Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps you get the “big picture” of the Bible by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Join Val and Deacon Gary for this exciting Bible study 9am to 10:30am Thursdays in Conference Rooms 1 & 2. Registration fee is $30 and includes your personal work book and reflections. For more information or to register, send email to Val Streff at
valstref@gmail.com or to Deacon Gary at
gstreff@rcchawaii.org.

Our goal is to send each seminarian a care package four times during the school year to show our love and aloha for them. To see how you can be part of this Project, text message to Dawn Ebina at 808-224-9097.
