The other day, the face of a young man in a red Target employee T-shirt appeared on my Twitter feed over and over again, mostly because people thought he was cute. His hashtag, #alexfromtarget, soon appeared in the national trending topics. The Target employee, Alex, is a regular teenage boy from a regular town, living […]

Quote “We all have a responsibility to give the best that we have, and the best that we have is the faith. Give it to them, but give it to them through your example.” | Pope Francis, who welcomed dozens of school children to his morning Mass Nov. 14 in the chapel of the Domus […]
Manaolana | Phyllis Zagano: A woman’s right to choose?
The other day, 29-year-old cancer patient Brittany Maynard earned a 500-word obituary in The New York Times because she killed herself. The newspaper calls her “the public face for the ‘death with dignity’ movement.” It has to stop. If you think all the talk about slippery slopes is exaggerated, think again. Human life is increasingly […]
Manaolana | Lisa’s catechism corner: Were Jesus’ miracles just pious tales?
YOUCAT*: Jesus really worked miracles, and so did the apostles. The New Testament authors refer to real incidents. [547-550] Over the last few weeks, the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima has been visiting parishes throughout the diocese.

Manaolana | Makana’s helpful hints: Whoa!
The thing that comes to mind first when Molokai is mentioned is: “Whoa!” Anyone who’s been there has probably stopped at a “Whoa!” sign.

Each year, there are […]

Manaolana | Christina Capecchi: Art among us, art within us
Looking back, the son that was born to Leopald and Anna Maria Mozart on a Tuesday evening in late January seemed to arrive with fully formed symphonies bound up in his tiny body, waiting for ink and instrument. At age 3, the toddler nicknamed Wolfgangerl was identifying thirds on the clavier and by 5, he […]
Manaolana | Lisa’s catechism corner: Why do we hand on the faith?
YOUCAT*: We hand on the faith because Jesus commands us: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:18) [91] A few years ago, Pope Benedict XVI invited the church to spend a year in reflection on our Catholic faith. “Faith is both a personal and a communal act: it is a gift from […]
Manaolana |Makana’s helpful hints: It’s simple … not easy
I like to hear about people’s aspirations. It gives me a good gauge on where their hearts are. I’ve had many aspirations myself, but now only one. When my parish young adult ministry was “re-branding” itself, the name RISE and a three-word mission statement were chosen. This mission statement is a summary of the church’s […]
