Once again, our parish participation in the March For Life rally
at the State Capital was a great
success. We secured a bus to spare
parishioners the drive to town,
with its limited parking, and to
make it easier for folks who did
not have transportation. Thanks
to Winnie Martinez for coordinating the manifest of adult
bus riders. Also, a big mahalo to
parish pro-life coordinator Susan
Duffy and photographer Tom
Carrington for their tireless efforts to ensure the success of our
annual participation in the pro-life
rally! Lastly, having our youth
as major participants in the 2015
event was a blessing! They truly
represented “Generation Life.”
We must continue to participate
in this annual event because the
unborn need us, more than ever,
to be “foot soldiers” in eradicating
abortion from the world! (Reported by Normand HJ Robert)

Our pastor Father Edgar Brillantes, left, and pastor emeritus Father Adrian Gervacio
blessed the throats of parishioners on Feb. 2, the Feast of St.
Blaise, bishop and martyr of
Armenia. The candles used were
blessed the day before, Candlemas
Day and the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple.
The parishioners brought candles,
for personal and family use, to be
blessed at the beginning of the
Mass. The blessed candles were
then carried to the altar in procession with the lit candles. “Let us
go in peace to meet the Lord,”
said during the procession, was
a rich and wonderful synopsis of
the feast day. Pope Francis also
declared the day as World Day
for Consecrated Life reminding us that 2015 is the Year of
Consecrated Life. (Reported by

about their own “Souper Bowl

blew noisemakers, waved pom

effort of the outreach ministry
and the religious education
program. Confirmation students
will use the proceeds to provide
lunch for the needy at the Good
Shepherd Church in Wailuku.
Under the direction of Juanita

the Confirmation students will

With peace and joy, our parish
finally has its own deacon! Deacon Keith Cabiles was one of
the six deacons ordained Jan. 31
at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa
and one of the 13 members of
the diocese’s seventh permanent
deaconate class. At 36, he is the
youngest of the group. He and his
wife Hazell Cabiles have two
daughters, Kacie and Hailey.
Deacon Keith began his amazing
journey in 2008 when Deacon
George Thorp Jr., still assigned
to this parish, announced a new
deacon formation class. He is so
proud to have grown up in Kalihi,
so proud to call St. Anthony his
parish and so proud now to be
able to be of service to all. It will
be his honor and a blessing to
continue this amazing journey toward God, side by side with all the
parishioners. In the next few days,
Father Manny Dela Cruz and
Deacon Keith will figure out what
exactly his role will be, what ministries to help, which committees
to advise or what programs to create. They will write a “covenant”
listing all these tasks and giving
him authority to accomplish them.
Last Sunday, Feb. 1, Deacon Keith
gave his first homily at the 6:30
a.m. Mass, pictured, and also
preached the homily for the remaining two Masses of the day. He
said, “I found it very interesting
that today’s Gospel and my first
homily would be all about authority.” God bless you, Deacon Keith!
