Mary Adamski: Midwestern pride, global appeal
View from the pew Just as a dark force loose in our corner of the world preaches that diversity, equity and inclusiveness are wrong and works to forcibly delete such welcoming acceptance from our culture as well as our conscience, we welcome a new voice to counter that most uncharitable, un-Christian political ideology. It’s not […]
Maryknoll Sister Rebecca Nyaki: Sharing stories, sharing God’s love
Viriditas2: Soul Greening Interviewed by Sister Malia Dominica Wong, OP Hawaii Catholic Herald I grew up in Tanzania, East Africa, in a small village with no electricity or books.

Greg Erlandson: Mistreatment can’t become OK
Commentary “The people stood by and watched.” This simple line in Luke’s Passion narrative (Lk 23:35) struck me with unusual force this past Holy Week.
