JUNE 5, 2015 • HAWAII CATHOLIC HERALD HAWAII 3 Hawaii welcomes newest priest Bishop Silva: ‘From this day forward, the risen Christ will make himself sacramentally present in Nick Brown’ By Patrick Downes Hawaii Catholic Herald For more than seven minutes the priests lined up to lay their hands gently, silently, purposeful- ly, for a second or two, on Nicho- las Brown’s head, as Bishop Larry Silva had done moments before in the act of ordination. Seventy-five of them, more than half of Ha- waii’s priestly clergy, sealing one more into their fraternity. The presbyters’ procession, in the sanctuary of the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa, was just one of several moving moments during the two-hour ordination Mass of local boy Brown, Hawaii’s newest priest, on the evening of May 22. The ordination was full of cler- ical solemnity with three liturgi- cal deacons, four ministers of cer- emony, eight seminarian acolytes, and 20 more deacons in albs and stoles filling the front pews, pre- sided over by the bishop in gold vestments. The music was simple but vig- orous, the lead organ fortified with brass, woodwinds, strings and Hawaiian implements. The church reverberated with the combined voices of choir and con- gregation. The ordination rite began after the reading of the Gospel when diocesan director of seminarians, Father William Shannon, formally presented the candidate for holy Then in a gesture of humil- orders to Bishop Silva: “Most ity and supplication, Brown lay Reverend Father, Holy Mother before the altar, face down on a Church asks you to ordain Nicho- lauhala mat, as the congregation las Brown, our brother, to the re- chanted the long litany of saints. sponsibility of the priesthood.” Brown then knelt before Bish- After a brief inquiry about op Silva who, with the laying on the candidate’s worthiness, the of hands, ordained the 49-year- bishop declared, “Relying on the old former Hawaiian Airlines em- help of our Lord God and our sav- ployee Hawaii’s newest priest. ior Jesus Christ, we choose Nick The 75 priests in the sanctu- Brown, our brother, for the order ary, one by one, repeated the of the priesthood.” bishop’s solemn gesture.

    Volume 24, Issue 3 — September 8, 2019 September 8, 2019 Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary To the Members of the United States Association of Consecrated Virgins, One of the greatest challenges of celibates and virgins is to realize the primordial challenge from God that we be fertile and multiply. For us, the first part of responding to this challenge is to imagine how this is even possible. Obviously, this will be accomplished as a spiritual fecundity. Our life of prayer for the Church and the world, both in general and in particular is a primary way to fulfill this duty. Are there other ways? This will depend on our method of “living in the world.” Whatever it is that we do, be it Church work or completely secular labor, there we encounter fertile soil. Each of us then must determine how best we can help the Word of God take root, both by our example and by our words. God will give the increase, but we must plant seeds.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.

  • Our Lady of Good Counsel
    Our Lady of Good Counsel According to tradition, in the year 1467, in the midst of the festivities for the Feast of Saint Mark, the townfolk suddenly heard "exquisite music." A mysterious cloud was then said to have descended and obliterated an unfinished wall of the parish church. In front of the populace, the cloud dissipated and a beautiful fresco, no thicker than a carte-de-visite and no more than eighteen inches square, of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child was revealed. It was widely believed that it had been miraculously transported from a church in Scutari, Albania. On November 17, 1682, Pope Innocent XI had the picture solemnly crowned. In 1753, Pope Benedict XIV established the Pious Union of Our Lady of Good Counsel. More than any other pope, Leo XIII, was deeply attached to this devotion. On April 22, 1903, that same Pope included the invocation "Mater boni consilii" in the Litany of Loreto. In 1939, Venerable Pope Pius XII placed his pontificate under the maternal care of Our Lady of Good Counsel and composed a prayer to her. Her feast is celebrated on April 26th. Our Lady of Aparecida Our Lady of Aparecida appeared to 3 fishermen in Brazil (Domingos Garcia, Filipe Pedroso, and João Alves) in October 1717. The fishermen prayed to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception that God would grant a good catch. The fishermen, having a run of bad luck, cast their nets in the River Paraiba and dragged up a headless statue of the Virgin Mary. They also salvaged the head and, according to the legend, then netted plenty of fish.
