Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish

Our Sunday evening Mass is always well attended and courteously greeted by 14- and 15-year-old ushers. Pictured here is Benjamin Chung-Muller welcoming Arthur and Aurora David. Benjamin’s parents drive him to church an hour before Mass begins because Benjamin wants to properly perform his duties. He diligently prepares the usher’s table with the parish bulletins and organizes the song sheets for the Mass. He also ensures that there are enough leis and rosaries for the visitors and sets up the collection baskets. He is later joined by his teammates Nicholas White, Cherelle Anibon and Rachel Ellis. You can spot them easily. They are neatly dressed in their yellow uniform aloha shirts. Their parents are genuinely proud of them. When asked why he is in this ministry, Benjamin simply replied, “I love to serve the Lord.” (Reported by Elaine Yamashita)

Sts. Peter and Paul Parish

In the upcoming weeks I will be introducing you to our newest project titled Health Ministry.

EWA BEACH

 

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish

The EDGE, a ministry to middle-school youth, kicked off on Sunday, Aug. 26, at the 5 p.m. Mass. Afterwards, the sixth, seventh and eighth graders along with Life Teen Ministry youths, shared light snacks of hotdogs, popcorn and juice at the parish breezeway. After snacks, the Life Teen core team took the youths to the school grounds for icebreaker games. In the meantime, the EDGE team transformed the church into a festive hall, moving the chairs to create a central space where they laid rugs and scattered blue- and salmon-colored balloons. At 7:30 p.m. the youths went back to the church where they met the EDGE team, who were dressed as characters from the movie “Shrek.” There was team coordinator Shaner Duhon as Shrek, Cathy Leggett as Princess Fiona, Christine Weinstein as Fairy Godmother, Susan Duffy as Wolf, Tina Reyes as Gingerbread Man, Brian Baldovino as Puss-n-Boots, Richard Hernandez as Prince Charming, Mike Bearis as Donkey, AJ Perez as Blind Mouse, and Gayle Acuna as Little Red Riding Hood. The EDGE was born out of the Parish Religious Education Board’s search for a program that would attract middle schoolers to faith formation in an untraditional way. The EDGE makes faith formation look more like “church” and not “school.” It is one of the ministries of Life Teen, which is on its 14th year at the parish. The EDGE meets every Sunday for the 5 p.m. Mass and a light dinner. The evening’s catechesis and activities are from 7 to 8:30 p.m. (Reported by Julia Torres)

St. Elizabeth Parish

Aloha Ke Akua! Our parish bid a bittersweet farewell to Capuchin Father Bob Maher on July 21 with a festive eucharistic celebration and appreciation dinner with entertainment and many fond farewells. As Father Bob said, it’s been seven days short of 10 years, having arrived on First Friday, Aug. 1, 1997, accompanied by Father Mike Dalton. Father Bob has relocated to the East Coast and hopes one day to return to Hawaii, perhaps engaging a diocesan ministry or helping out in parishes. Our parish has many fond memories of Father Bob — his support of our hula halau, our school, his instructive and poetic homilies and his own distinctive hula style (we have photos!). Father Bob was a man of many languages and knew how to tell a story, especially on himself. Remembering his jubilee celebration, he noted in his homily that he never envisioned “little Bobby Maher” one day as a priest but thanked God for his mercy and strength in his priesthood. And as many said on July 21 … “We love you, Father Bob!” (Reported by Linda Cacpal, photo by Ed Taguba)

The student body also sang their “cha cha” version of the happy birthday song. Pictured is seventh grader Nicholas Oliva presenting her with a lei and card from his class.
