Bishop Larry will meet with parishioners of Lahaina’s Maria Lanakila Church and celebrate Mass at Sacred Hearts Church in Kapalua, Maui, on All Souls Day, Nov. 2, at 6 p.m.
Maria Lanakila Church and rectory survived the Aug. 8 Lahaina wildfire, but the church remains inaccessible to the public during post-fire recovery efforts. Parish services are being held at Sacred Hearts Church, off of Office Road in Kapalua.
“Jesus said, ‘Blessed are those who mourn,’” Bishop Silva said: “We wholeheartedly mourn the passing of all who died in the fires that destroyed the town of Lahaina. We are blessed because it is our ‘duty and our salvation’ to lift them up in prayer to God, the merciful and loving Father, that they may rest forever in his peace.”
“We are blessed because we join with their grieving families and friends in solidarity at this tragic loss,” he said. “We are blessed because this is an expression of love and of the belief that love never dies.”
The bishop said that his office would be sending the names of all those who perished in the fire to Hawaii’s 65 parishes “so that they may also pray for these beloved sisters and brothers.”
May they rest in peace
