Empowering others to service Two years ago, I met a longtime parishioner named Anthony Silva. He was an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist and loved serving the morning Mass.

Manaolana | Makana’s helpful hints: Patron of the church
Following my wife’s inspiration again, we look at the Patron of the Universal Church, the saint recently added to the main Eucharistic Prayer. Soon, we will celebrate our fathers and for the first time I will be counted among them. I am anxious to see my son face to face. I’m not sure if I […]
