Congratulations to our Jubilarian Clerics!

Bishop Larry Silva, looking proud and pleased

Celebration of Mass to honor our Lord Jesus Christ, our Most High Priest

Honoring our priests... and brothers, nuns and sisters, here!

These are just a few of them. I wish I had taken a picture

of each one of our priests with Bishop Larry Silva,

but my camera was slow and I wasn't standing

close enough to the altar. I am learning though!

Bishop Larry with Fr. Gordy of Sacred Heart Parish

Our bishop with Fr. Keahi receiving for Fr. Edward Popish, SS.CC

Fr. Russel Roid, SJ

I had the opportunity to serve food afterwards

so some of the nuns, sisters,

and priests couldn't bypass my table

without me taking a picture of them!

Vicar General Fr. Marc Alexander

celebrates 25 years of ordination

He couldn't join in the celebration due to a Mass

he was presiding in another parish.

My diocese, Diocese of Honolulu, celebrated today, May 1,

the lives of priests, brothers, nuns and sisters on their

50th, 60th, 70th, and 75th anniversary of ordination or profession.

This blog honors them and the Risen Christ present in each one of them.

Congratulations!

Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa!
