Dear parishioners, visitors and friends,

As a popular saying goes, "With every ending there is a new beginning." And as Louis L'Amour, a popular novelist, expresses, "There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That urill be the beginning."

We take this opportunity to thank Fr. Danny Laeda for his nearly three years with us. We wish hirn the very best on his new beginning as Hospice chaplain.

We would like to welcome Fr. Scott Bush on board with us as he now ends his years of pastorship at St. George Church in Waimanalo. As we express our best wishes and farewell to Father Danny, we extend to Father Scott our warm welcoming and "aloha." fr fiQanfi

Obviously caring for the earth and its resources (ecology) flows from being a good steward. This same logic applies when we look at our parish, its programs and its resources as gifts from God. Most of us today did not build this parish; we inherited it from our parents and others before

Indeed, all parishes within the Diocese of Honolulu are restoring the Original Order of the Sacraments of I nitiation between 20 7B-2A20.

In the early Church, the person was immersed into the waters of Baptism, anointed with chrism, and shared in the Eucharistic meal as part of a single event. Over time, and for many reasons, the celebration of these three sacraments became separated from one another. in the renewal stemming from the Second Vatican Council, the Church was asked to more ciearly set forth the intimate connection of Confirmation with the whole of Christian initiation. This original order also helps us recognize that sharing in the Eucharist completes our initiation into the Churcl-r and that it is Eucharist which is the "source and summit of our faith."

written primarily to convey truthrs

about Gocl: God is gcod, iornng, anci provident; hurrankind was ungrateful lo God and introduced evil into the r,vorld. Holrievetr, despite humanity's sinfulness, there is stlll hope because of God's goodness and mercy. The Garden of Eden story is iocused more on the loss of original holiness and the consequences of original sin than ofi repenaance. So while the Bible doesn't state that Adam and Erre sought repentance, we can know with certainty that God offered them forgiveness, and we can imagine that they probably repented. God restores humanity after the Fall lhrough Christ's redemptive act and offers allof us forgiveness (see the Cstechism of the Catl'tolic Church, 4LA). Chrlstians believe that "the world has been established and kept in being by

the Creator's iove; has falien intc slavery to sin but has been set free by Christ, crucified and risen to break the power of the evil one" (CCC 421). Creation, therefore, aiready involves a re-creation in Christ, the eternal Word of the Father. Christ, the "New Adarn," who amends for the disobedience of Adam, becomes tire point toward which creation's history is directed. The Catecltism of tlie Catholic Church asks: Why did God not prevent the flrst man from sinning? "St. Leo the Great responds, 'Christ"s inexpressible grace gave us blessings better than those the demon's envy had taken away.'...And the Exsu/rer sings, 'O happy fault, ...vrhich gained for us so great a Redeernerl'" (CCC 412).
