About 150 people were in the cathedral to witness the ceremony which began precisely at 6 p.m. with a brass fanfare. The church’s main double doors swung open and Bishop Silva, wearing a magenta cassock, was escorted in a procession of 21 members of the royal order dressed in black suits and ties and velvet red and yellow capes over their shoulders. Also part of the procession was Hawaii’s Episcopal Bishop Rob- ert Fitzpatrick. For most of the rite, the bishop sat in the cathedra, his normal pre- sider’s chair, surrounded by the order’s members in the area behind the church’s main altar. About midway through the 50-minutes of ritual, the bishop knelt before Alii Sir Arthur K. Aiu who lowered a ceremonial sword HCH photo | Darlene Dela Cruz three times over his shoulders. Arthur K.

John Garvey Caring for a family member is a Spiritualife blessing and benefit ashington, D.C., where I live, is a government town, and reminders of this fact crop up in places you might not Wexpect. Many cities run ads in their transit systems for consumer goods and services. The ones in the Washington Metro often focus instead on advocacy and policy. I noticed one this month decrying cuts to Medi- care and Medicaid. “Today you’re an accountant,” it reads. “Tomorrow you’re dad’s nurse. Further cuts to Medicaid and Medicare will impact 78 percent of post-acute and skilled nursing care patients. We have a solution.” The “we” refers to the American Health Care As- sociation, a trade organization of long-term and post-acute care providers. I have mixed feelings about the cuts the ad refers to, but I really hate the ad itself. It makes caring for your dad seem like a personal disaster. It’s not. It is actually a blessing from which many families would benefit. In my family, we tend to live long lives and the survivors frequently end up in somebody’s home. Father Ron My parents cared for my grandparents. My mother Rolheiser moved in with my sister. My wife’s mother lived with us for her last three years. It wasn’t always bright and cheery, or easy.

FRI But hundreds of Catholic 7/5/2013 15 Catholics in the Chicago area took the time to offer their Mana'olana greetings, as well as prayers and veneration, when two relics of St. Anthony of Padua visited the Chicago area this June. The relics visited nine churches and shrines in the Archdiocese of Chicago and made stops in Milwaukee and Rockford. The June 8-16 tour was part of the celebration of the 750th anniversary of the discovery of St. Anthony’s relics by St. Bonaventure. Franciscan Father Mario Conte, who traveled from Padua, Italy, with the relics, said veneration is appropriate so people can feel a connection to those we love who are no longer with us. In the case of the saints, they are people who now are with God in heaven, and we ask them to intercede for us, he said.
