VIRIDITAS2: SOUL GREENING Interviewed by Sister Malia Dominica Wong, OP Hawaii Catholic Herald For 21 years, from 1973 to 1994, I taught at St. Catherine School in Kapaa on Kauai. Strangely, even though that was almost 30 years ago, it felt just like yesterday when I had the opportunity to visit Kapaa again last month. […]
Effie Caldarola: O Life! O Death! O Mystery!
COMMENTARY My friend volunteered in a program called NODA — No One Dies Alone. It was not meant to walk the long journey through terminal illness with someone. It was, in fact, quite literal. At the hour of death, none of us should be alone. The hospital might have a suffering patient who was living […]

Laura Kelly Fanucci: Praying at home, to the God of home
FAITH AT HOME Remember when we said we’d never take the Eucharist for granted again? When we had to watch Mass online or from cars in the church parking lot? When every part of parish life — from faith formation classes to Bible studies to doughnuts on Sundays — changed overnight? Three years ago, the […]
Mary Adamski: Alleluia! It’s still Easter! Alleluia!
VIEW FROM THE PEW Happy Easter to all of you! What? You’re wondering if the writer has finally lost touch with reality? Or did the editor hold this column from a previous edition and it has aged out of use. Nope, this IS just in time; it IS still Easter and time to celebrate whether […]

Christina Capecchi: Her life was a work of art
TWENTY SOMETHING Two parts reverence, one part mischief. That’s how I’d sum up my grandma, whose name — Elinor Marcella — captures her mix of poise and playfulness. She raised five kids with a kind of 1950s ease: neck bows and neatly coiffed hair, family dinners and at-home haircuts, playing Bud & Travis on the […]
