Going to the Chapel
Why are island Catholics leaving their parishes to worship at a place called Hope Chapel?
You’ve probably heard of Hope Chapel. With churches of that name springing up in communities all over the islands, it is one of the fastest growing, most energetic and most visible religious movements in Hawaii. Why should its existence be of concern to the Catholic Church? Because most of its members used to be Catholic.

A heroine’s homecoming
Hawaii’s new saint received a heroine’s homecoming on the Friendly Isle last week.
A 13-day interisland tour of St. Marianne Cope’s relic culminated in a poignant visit to Molokai, Nov. 2-3. On the island where the Franciscan sister ministered for 30 years to Hawaii’s leprosy patients, scores of the Molokai residents turned out for a series of events to commemorate her life and virtue.
Topside Molokai and Kalaupapa were the final two stops of the pilgrimage of the relic following Mother Marianne’s canonization in Rome on Oct. 21. Local members of her religious order of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities carried her relic to each of the Honolulu diocese’s nine vicariates for veneration.
