Our Mission of Aloha
Mary, Star of The Sea Parish is to give love, direction and support to all members of our community as we seek ways to follow Christ in our quest for eternal life. The Parish believes that it must evangelize, exclude none, communicate openly, show compassion and mercy to all, and follow Mary, our Star (HOKU) as she leads us in our mission.

There will be a second collection on September 23rd and 24th. The funds will be distributed either through Catholic Charities USA for humanitarian relief, or through the affected dioceses for help in rebuilding churches, schools, and other buildings used as infrastructure for evangelization. You may also use our eGiving for your convenience. Let us open our hearts to our suffering brothers and sisters in their time of need. -

It must have stung Peter to have Jesus call him Satan, especially because Jesus had already chosen him to be the foundation rock of his community of believers. Peter, in his bullheadedness, seems a good stand-in for many of us, taking the heat for what we ourselves might have done or said (“What’s in it for us, Lord?”). Here he is merely expressing his care for Jesus by saying, as any of us would to someone we love, “God forbid that any tragedy should fall upon you.” Yet Jesus reprimands him because Peter cannot see beyond his desire to protect his Lord (and perhaps himself) from the terrible fate Jesus foresees. Peter does not yet see how great a cost a “wondrous love” will pay to accomplish good. Remember, by God’s standard no price is too high. “Get behind me, Satan! You are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” -

Happy Anniversary to the Blessed Sacrament Fathers and Brothers! The late Archbishop of Manila Rufina Cardinal Santos invited the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament (Societas Sanctissimi Sacramenti SSS) to establish a foundation in Manila, Philippines. The first community of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers and Brothers (as Sacramentinos were then called) was established in the Parish of Sta. Cruz, Manila, on August 15, 1957. -

The Transfiguration, then and now, is a shining mountaintop experience amid scenes of violence and suffering. On this day, August 6th, 1945, humans unleashed a power so deadly that we’ve spent decades trying to prevent its use in warfare again. Here’s how President Harry S. Truman described the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in a press release sent out 16 hours after the attack: “It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed...” Jesus, too, harnessed the power of the universe, but His energy was used to bring light and life. Let’s remember to pray for our enemies today, and call on God’s power to help us transfigure hatred into love. “Jesus was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun.”
