Here I am Lord, this is the response of Samuel to God’s calling.
The Lord wants us to respond just the way Samuel does in the first
reading. God calls each of us to discipleship through lives of
stewardship.
Just as Samuel was confused, we, too, may fail to understand what
God is calling us to at times. Nevertheless, just like Samuel we do
need to respond “Here I am Lord.” That is not always easy and it
can be uncomfortable at times. Eli instructs Samuel to respond
“Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.” Samuel does so and “the Lord was with him.”
Our challenge is first to hear God’s call. It is there always, but we must listen for it. Then
we need to respond to that call, and we need to respond in ways that show we recognize
that the call is to service and the call is for us to be disciples. It is only implied initially,
but it is clear that the Lord is calling Samuel by name. In the same way, God calls each of
us by name. We need to hear that as Samuel did, and we need to respond as Samuel did,
“Here I am Lord. I come to do your will.”
Let us, too, as a community hear God’s calling and hopefully we answer His calling
through different ministry that we are willing to be involved in.
God Bless You All, Fr. Lusius Nimu

SCHOOL NEWS
This was our first full week of school
and the students have settled into the 3rd
quarter.
The school had their first Mass with
Father Lusius on Wednesday. It was a time
for the students to meet and greet him as our
new Pastor. The homily was about helping
others around us and Father Lusius went into
the student body asking students what they
would do in the scenario that Father gave
them. It was very positive and reflective.
Father and Mrs. Arecchi then gave the
students homework to be aware if they
were helping others. They will check
with students throughout the week leading
up to next week Wednesday’s Mass on how
much they helped others and themselves.
No school on Monday in observance of
Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We’ll see
everyone on Tuesday!
Thank you for your support!

ST. MARIANNE COPE CHARITY WALK ~ Saturday, January 31, 2015
We invite you to follow in the footsteps of a Saint. The short, one-mile stroll will begin at 7AM from
Kewalo Basin Park, around the harbor and back. You are encouraged to put together a team and join us in
this healthy walk followed by a park clean-up. Walking with fellow parishioners, friends or family members
is always more fun. You’ll be not only supporting a good cause but doing something for you. Prizes will
be awarded to the largest team and to the team that raises the most donations.
Cost is $25 per person if received by January 16th; there is a late fee of $35 after January 17th. The fee
includes a commemorative t-shirt and goody bag.
Proceeds from the walk supports St. Francis Healthcare System’s Charity Care Fund that provides
financial assistance to seriously ill patients who need care but are unable to afford it.
Registration forms and information are available at the front of the church.
