WINDOW SEAT WISDOM We went to Hobby Lobby. It just opened up, you see. Brand new store. Because back in August 2020, the old one was blown away in Hurricane Laura. And so for nearly two years we’ve waited, sometimes not so patiently, for the store with wooden signs with pithy phrases to reopen. Earlier, […]
Christina Capecchi: Designing a better swimsuit
TWENTY SOMETHING For years, Catherine Huss’ twin passions were evident: faith and fashion. The 30-year-old Catholic never felt that her faith was at odds with her penchant for apparel. But the career path she projected for herself did appear lonely. She wasn’t aware of any other Catholic fashion designers. “I didn’t see anyone doing it,” […]
Mary Duddy: For the love of God and neighbor
THE MARRIED LIFE Tom and I were at the Prince Waikiki hotel for a weekend away. As I looked out the window at the beautiful view of the harbor and the blue Pacific Ocean, I was praying and read the Scripture passage about the woman anointing the feet of Jesus. This act of love on […]
Deacon Gary and Val Streff: Reversal of Roe will usher in a new era
RESPECT LIFE The leak of the draft of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health has stirred up a lot of upheaval for suggesting that the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion will be overturned. Whatever the outcome, it will divide our nation for years to come. Many […]
Bishop Larry Silva: What he did 2,000 years ago, he does today
WITNESS TO JESUS | Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday) Here is the prepared text of the homily delivered by Bishop Larry Silva for the Second Sunday of Easter, also called Divine Mercy Sunday, April 23 at St. Augustine Church, Waikiki, with Confirmation and First Communion; and April 24 at the Cathedral Basilica of […]
Father Kenneth Doyle: What’s the Catholic view on tithing? Should a couple cohabitat before getting married?
QUESTION CORNER Q: I grew up in a Protestant church but converted to Catholicism. Sometimes it seems to me that Catholics give a lot less money to their churches than Protestants do. (The Sunday collections reported in our parish bulletin would, I think, be dwarfed by some Protestants parishes much smaller than our own.) On […]
Greg Erlandson: My sense, your nonsense
AMID THE FRAY A friend of mine is threatening to run for office. His slogan will be “Stop the Nonsense.” I think it’s a slogan an increasing number of us could get behind. Nonsense is in the eye of the beholder, however, and the trick is defining what the nonsense is. For some, it may […]
Laura Kelly Fanucci: Speaking of resurrection
FAITH AT HOME By Laura Kelly Fanucci We don’t talk enough about resurrection. How a marriage can be resurrected: How what felt dead and gone, ready to be buried in the dark earth forever, is not always dead and gone. How a friendship can be resurrected: How speaking hard words can breathe new life into […]
Msgr. Owen F. Campion: Breaking the bonds of earth
THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD Acts of the Apostles 1:1-11; Ephesians 1:17-23; Luke 24:46-53 The Acts of the Apostles supplies the first reading, the story of the Ascension of the Lord from earth into heaven. This passage is the beginning of Acts. As is the case with the Gospel of Luke, Acts seems to have […]
David and Sarah Herrmann: Duped again by the summer illusion
EMBRACING FAMILY Ah, finally! Summer is here! Vacation! Sleeping in, going to the beach, hiking, biking, swimming, playing, and maybe even some traveling, too. It sounds perfect, simply perfect … until it’s not! Reality hits: summer break is not actually much of a break for us parents! There is the incessant planning of activities for […]
