St. John Apostle & Evangelist Honors Filipino Culture with Misa De Gallo December 2014 Inside This Issue... 2 Keeping Things in Perspective During Christmas 3 Making Christmas a Time of Real Blessing 4 New Inspirational Hula Ministry Glorifies the Lord 6 Begin the Journey Home for Christmas 7 Fr. Boniface Waema, Parochial Vicar of St. John Apostle & Evangelist Honors Filipino St. John Apostle & Culture with Misa de Gallo Celebrations Evangelist he celebration of the Misa de Gallo novena – also known as TSimbáng Gabi or Mass of the Rooster – is a Filipino tradition that dates back to the early days of Spanish rule. This nine-day consecutive early morning Masses is celebrated at many parishes throughout Hawaii, including here at St. John Apostle & Evangelist. The first Misa de Gallo was celebrated at St. John on December 16, 2000. “We try to keep the customs of the ‘old country’ and teach the younger members and children the importance of preserving their heritage,” says parishioner Richard Amaral, President of Fil-Am Catholic Group. “In the Philippines, the Misa de Gallo is celebrated early, with the church bells ringing at 4 a.m. so that people can get ready for the 5 a.m. dawn Mass. This tradition was introduced by Spanish friars to allow the farmers and fishermen to hear Mass before going to their work early in the morning. Most churches are decorated with lights of many colors and beautiful lanterns to welcome the churchgoers.” Every year, the Misa de Gallo begins on December 16, with the last Mass taking place on December 24. Several parishioners and ministries host and sponsor the Masses – St. John’s Fil-Am Catholic Group hosts and sponsors the first and last Masses. “Each year, we start with fundraising to ensure that sufficient funds are available to provide for a successful Misa de Gallo,” Richard says. The early-morning celebrations also includes Filipino food and refreshments after the Mass.

December 2014 A Letter From Our Pastor Making Christmas a Time of Dear Parishioners, s we all know, December is about Christmas. The basic truth of AChristmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus the Messiah, God Incarnate, is plenty of reason for us all to rejoice and worship. But the additional load we have piledReal onto our Christmas observance means Blessing that worship is often almost lost in the shuffle. Think about what weight Christmas has to bear. For instance, we send Christmas cards to people we contact at no other time of the year. We have to put up wreaths, Christmas trees and lights. It’s the time of year above all others to visit relatives – “Home for Christmas” is a sort of national motto. There’s the Christmas dinner to plan and cook. And then, we have Christmas presents to buy. No wonder the Christ Mass becomes an afterthought! Presents, at least, are a natural extension of the Christmas theme: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son” (Jn 3:16). As God loved us and expressed it by giving His Son, so we in turn share the love we have received by giving to others. And it’s natural to show the joy we feel at the birth of our Savior with gifts, decorations and festivities. Maybe, though, we can combine our Christmas activities with our stewardship commitments. Treasure, although challenging, is the simplest. Shouldn’t the most generous Christmas present we give be the one to Jesus, whose birthday we’re celebrating? Risen and glorified, He needs nothing we have. But His Body, the Church, continues Jesus’ mission here on earth, and as good stewards, we all have a need to return a portion of our gifts to God in gratitude for His many blessings. Stewardship of our time may be a little more complicated, but can’t we spend a little more of our time in worship and prayer? Drop in to the church and offer a prayer of thanks for the gift of God’s Son. Maybe you can attend Mass each day of the Christmas Octave. Have your family gather for prayers together in the morning or at dinner, in preparation for Christmas Day and through the Christmas season. And talent? There are lots of possibilities. You can help decorate the Church. Or perhaps you might cook or bake for someone who is homebound or a shut-in. Invite someone who will be alone to share Christmas dinner with your family. Offer to work in a soup kitchen. The possibilities are endless. Yes, December is synonymous with Christmas. But with a little planning, we can make this hectic time one of real blessing, both for ourselves and others. Have a blessed and joyful Christmas. Sincerely yours in Christ, Msgr. John S. Mbinda Pastor 3 New Inspirational Hula Ministry Glorifies the Lord “Let them praise His name in dance, make music with tambourine and lyre.” - Psalm 149:3 Hula dancers practice the song “The Prayer,” praying in thanksgiving to God for His guidance and wisdom eimomi Cleghorn began dancing both excited and willing.

The next year they planted the seeds in the ground on purpose; from that day forth rice has been an essential part of human subsistence. In a mutually beneficially relationship with man, rice has enjoyed the genetic diversification of centuries of farmers' artificial selection while man has thrived on the nutrition packed in its starchy innards.
