Marianist Brother Allen Pacquing
Chaminade University last month named Marianist Brother Allen Pacquing the new Director of Campus Ministry. The Kalihi native and Saint Louis School graduate succeeded Danny O’Regan, who held the position since 2012.
The mission of Campus Ministry is to strengthen Chaminade’s Catholic and Marianist identity on campus. Activities include religious retreats, liturgies and opportunities for community service.
Brother Pacquing had been Chaminade’s Minister of Liturgy and Worship and coordinated the tutoring center at the Office of Retention, Advising and Career Preparation.
“I’m honored and excited to lead campus ministry,” said Brother Pacquing, who took his vows as a Marianist in 2015. “College provides a wonderful opportunity for personal and spiritual growth. Accordingly, our team offers support and guidance to students of all faiths and traditions.”
Brother Pacquing had served as a liturgical ministry assistant at St. Mary’s University, Chaminade’s sister campus in San Antonio, Texas. He was also a pastoral associate at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa in Honolulu, religious education director at St. Anthony Church and School in Kalihi and taught religion at Damien Memorial School.
Brother Pacquing has a master’s degree in pastoral ministry from Santa Clara University and has completed additional graduate studies at Washington Theological Union. He has a bachelor’s degree in justice administration from Hawaii Pacific University.
