Bishop Larry Silva poses with the St. Joseph Parish, Hilo, new confirmation class May 31. Chrislyn Villena, the parish director of religious education commented, “I believe we have successfully transitioned our parish to the ‘restored order’ of the sacraments. There is still lots more work to do, to catch more people in our fishing nets. I was worried that we would have smaller numbers because our first year was so large at 168 candidates for Pentecost 2018. But this year is just as amazing.” (Photo courtesy of Deacon David Watson)
