Father William Shannon, diocesan priest: The spirit of minority
Often, as I drive to work in downtown Honolulu, I see people standing out on the street mixed in with the fast-paced successful business personnel and wonder, “What is his or her circumstance? Probably, he or she is homeless.” There are others that can be seen pushing carts filled with their belongings or groceries oblivious to the surroundings.

Kalaupapa love story
Several years ago, Jimmy Brede sat in the shade outside Leahi Hospital on Oahu waiting for the van to drive up. When it did, the door opened and out came his wife, Nancy.
“There she is!” Jimmy sang out as if it was the first time he’d laid eyes on her. “She’s going to be 87, but she’s still my Sweet Sixteen.”
Talk Story | Office for Social Ministry: Lenten stories of hope
“It is a good thing that the Crucifixion and Death of Jesus are not to be judged by human standards.

Known to all as Father ‘Jojo,’ La Salette priest was much loved

So it was a surprise to many who knew the La Salette missionary from his 17 years of service in Hawaii to learn that he died March 6 in the Philippines. He was 57.
