It had an echo of Nicholas Sparks to it, but it was real life, and the story went viral: an Ohio couple married for 73 years died just 28 hours apart. Reporters across the globe culled bits of Hollywood drama from the marriage, chronicling a young Joseph Auer surviving the horrors of D-Day and missing […]
Manaolana | Makana’s helpful hints: Doin’ work
“Doin’ work!” In basketball, that phrase describes someone taking over the game and getting things done on their own.

Grace Osterbauer was a 24-year-old bride-to-be when she took her first cake-decorating class, and the impulse compelling the Texas beauty to make that $35 investment remains today, now a 40-year-old mother of eight. “I wanted to make the Catholic events of our lives super special,” she said.

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.

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 […]
