Dela Cruz Hawaii Catholic Herald etting to the town of Kaupo is a pilgrim- age of faith. This quaint Maui locale on the east- ern lip of the island could quite literally be described as “caught between a rock Gand a hard place.” To the north, Kaupo is bordered by the mountainous slopes of Haleakala, the Valley Isle’s world-famous volcanic crater. To the south are craggy cliffs that descend breathtakingly — and sometimes scarily — thousands of feet into the Pacific Ocean. Very few families live in Kaupo. Cows graze in wide- open pastures there. The most “bustling” gathering spot is a small, colorful general store that sells food and goods to the sporadic visitor traversing the area. But despite Kaupo’s off-the-beaten-path spot, nothing —not wind, not rain, nor the 19-mile drive on the treacherous, winding road beyond the already- distant town of Hana — could keep a few hundred faithful from converging on its humble church of St. Joseph on July 29. (Continued on page 10) St. Joseph Church in Kaupo honors its patron with a statue placed high up in a niche in the church’s facade. Hundreds of people gathered at the Maui church to celebrate its 150th anniversary, July 29.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • Kalawao County
    OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS RESEARCH DIVISION Kalawao County Moloka‘i, Hawaiÿi The land inclines sharply to the lofty mountains and the nearly mile-high summit of Mount Kamakou, then ends abruptly with emerald-green cliffs, which plunge into a lurid aquamarine sea dotted with tiny deserted islets. These breathtaking 3,250-foot sea cliffs, the highest in the world, stretch 14 majestic miles … laced by waterfalls and creased by five pristine valleys … once occupied by early Hawaiians who built stone terraces and used waterfalls to irrigate taro patches. Long after the sea cliffs formed, a tiny volcano erupted out of the sea at their feet and spread lava into a flat, leaf-like peninsula. (Foster, 2004, p. 460). Kalaupapa Peninsula. Courtesy of National Park Service (NPS/Image). This narrative extolls the natural beauty of an ‘äina of kaÿawale (land of isolation). Yet in the course of history, because of this isolation, it also became known as the ‘äina of kaumaha nohoi (deep sorrow) and pilikia (misery, hardship, and suffering), ka luakupapaÿu kanu ola (the grave of living corpses or a living tomb), ‘aÿole känäwai ma këia wahi (a place where there is no law), and a “prison fortified by nature” (Inglis, 2004; Frazier, 1987; Stevenson, 1991). Today there are efforts to heal and preserve this ‘äina called Kalawao County.

  • Ministry in Sudan from Local Churches Here This Comes to Us from Tom Bridgman, Area Representative of Western Massachusetts and Eastern New York
    April 2010 Volume 42, No. 4 Around The Conference Ministry in Sudan from Local Churches Here This comes to us from Tom Bridgman, Area Representative of Western Massachusetts and Eastern New York. It was written by Bob Kirkman of Grace Church Congregational in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. …and they said, “Let us rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work. Nehemiah 2:18 Since 2004, CCCC churches from the New York/New England region have joined hands with Operation Nehemiah Missions (ONMI) to support and encourage the suffering church and the marginalized people of South Sudan. The Coila Church in Cambridge, New York has donated medical equipment, funds for solar panels, eyeglasses, well drilling equipment and malaria medicine for ONMI’s mission compound in Borongole, South Sudan. The Congregational Church of New Lebanon, New York, has donated eye equipment, funds for a roof for the clinic and a mobile medical unit. Elder Bob Kirkman of Grace Church Beth Israel Church in Action (before pews) Congregational in Pittsfield has served as the coordinator for ONMI’s medical mission, and has gone on twelve medical mission trips to the Sudan with the support of these churches, and Grace Church has sponsored the education of many young Sudanese in exile in Uganda. In 2000, ONMI founded a church, Beth Israel on the Nile Messianic Congregation, in the wilderness of southern Sudan. The church was established to serve returning Sudanese Christians who had been displaced by the war, five years before the peace agreement was signed. The church originally met under a large tree.

  • St. Marianne Cope 1838–1918 ∞ Germany
    January 23 St. Marianne Cope 1838–1918 ∞ Germany When Marianne Cope was only two years old, her family immigrated to the United States from Germany. Ever since she was young, Marianne knew that God wanted her to be a nun, and she joined the Franciscan sisters. Eventually, she was elected the mother superior and ran the local hospital. Some people criticized her for receiving “outcasts” in the hospital, but Sr. Marianne rejected no one who needed help. God used her time with the sick to prepare her for an important mission He had planned for her. In 1883, the Hawaiian government sent a letter to Sr. Marianne, pleading that she come to Hawaii and take care of the lepers on the islands. At that time, there was no cure for the terrible disease of leprosy that damaged the flesh. The Hawaiian government had begged many other religious communities to send help, but none had answered the call. But Sr. Marianne’s heart leapt at the opportunity to serve the sick in Hawaii in Christ’s name. Immediately, she wrote back that it would be her greatest delight to serve the abandoned lepers. Sr. Marianne and six of her nuns arrived in Honolulu and took charge of the hospital there. They tidied it up and made it a pleasant place to stay. They served the patients with tenderness and love. There were many young girls who had nobody to take care of them because their parents were sick with leprosy; so Sr. Marianne and her nuns started a home for the girls near the hospital.
