Together We Are … STEWARDS of the Gospel A warm mahalo to all who supported The Bishop’s Circle annual appeal for 2016/2017.

During the past fiscal year, over $300,000 was raised from more than 720 donors across the diocese and beyond. I am es- pecially grateful to the following members of the Donor Societies for your generous steward- ship of treasure. May God bless you, and all the benefactors of our Catholic Church in Hawaii.

KIHEI — Members of St. Patrick’s Seminary Class of 1977 could have gone to Europe, Las Vegas or the San Francisco Bay Area to celebrate their 40 years of priest- hood, but they chose to come to Maui where they’ve been hosted by their classmate, Msgr. Ter- rence Watanabe, pastor at St. Theresa Church in Kihei. And, during Mass on Sunday at St. Theresa, it became clear that Msgr. Watanabe’s nine class- mates weren’t simply attracted to Maui for its sun and surf. As a seminarian, “Father Terry had a way of throwing great par- ties,” said Reno, Nevada, Bishop Randolph Calvo during his hom- ily. “And he continues to outdo himself.” Indeed, the St. Theresa parish community filled the church for Mass on Sunday and then rolled out the red carpet for Msgr. Wata- nabe’s classmates with music, hula and a luncheon in the church hall.

In a glorious evening ceremo- ny celebrating the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Honolulu’s Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa, Bishop Larry Silva ordained William “Pila” Tulua a deacon. On Aug. 15, through an age- old rite filled with symbolism and purpose, the 54-year-old for- mer tour bus driver took his last big step toward the ultimate goal of priesthood. The Mass began as the sun was setting. More than two dozen priests and 16 deacons in white vestments, and seminari- ans and ministers of ceremony in cassocks and surplices filed two- by-two into the church’s gold- trimmed, white marble sanctu- ary as the choir led the spirited hymn, “Laudate, Laudate Domi- num.” Tulua, in the front of the pro- cession, took his place in the first pew.
