Sister Valerie Lemansky, Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity: ‘I do my best, trusting the rest to God’
VIRIDITAS: SOUL GREENING Interviewed by Sister Malia Dominica Wong, OP Hawaii Catholic Herald I can still remember the morning when the community was notified that we all needed to go to Lihue for a very important phone call. We did not have phone service at the time in Kekaha. Once in Lihue, we were able […]
John Garvey: You shall not oppress an alien
Donald Trump has been saying that Ted Cruz can’t be president because he was born in Canada, and the U.S. Constitution limits eligibility to natural born citizens.

Kathleen T. Choi: Christians Anonymous
The Ash Wednesday Gospel (Matthew 6:1-18) puzzles me. Jesus says not to let anyone know our good deeds. Our prayers, fasting and almsgiving should all be secret.

Father Kenneth Doyle: Shouldn’t our priority be Christians over Muslims?
It is my understanding that the Catholic Church, along with other religious organizations, is helping to relocate Syrian and other Middle Eastern refugees, of whom more than 90 percent are Muslim. Shouldn’t saving persecuted Christians from this region be the priority?
Mary Adamski: Happy Valentine’s Day!
VIEW FROM THE PEW Standing in the greeting card section at Longs and reading Valentine cards set my thoughts scattering in diverse directions. What would St. Valentine, the third century martyr whose name is perpetuated with this holiday, have thought about some of these sentiments, especially in the naughty variety, or even the ones with […]
