The Notre Dame Club of Hawaii Invites you to watch “Hesburgh” at the Regal Dole Cannery 18

The Hesburgh documentary had a great opening nationally. Hesburgh offers a unique glimpse at more than fifty years of American history. Edu-cator, civil rights champion, advisor to presidents, envoy to popes, theo-logian and activist, Hesburgh was called on by countless world leaders to tackle the most challenging is-sues of the day. He built a reputation as a savvy political operator with a penchant for bridging the divide between bitter enemies. Through it all, he remained a man armed with a fierce intelligence, a quick wit and an unyielding moral compass -- a timeless example of bipartisan leadership that would serve us in today’s increasingly polarized times.

Blue Zones Project — Approved!

We are excited to announce that the Newman Center is being recog-nized as a Blue Zones Project Approved Faith-based Organization. After a year of implementing healthy nudges into our church environment, we are the first Catholic Church in the Mānoa-Makiki-McCully-Mōʻiliʻili region to receive this designation! Inspired by National Geographic Blue Zones research on longevity, we have begun implementing small changes to improve the well-being of our parishioners. Some of the highlights include: creating a health coun-cil to spearhead well-being programming at Newman Center, ensuring that plant-based meal options are available at church gatherings, culti-vating a church garden, creating a weekly walking group after the 9am mass, offering volunteer opportunities to members, offering regular mindfulness classes and yoga, continuing to offer community-building retreats for students and young professionals, leading a Blue Zones book club, and supporting our annual family fun events such as the New-man Fun Run, the Christmas Party and the Welcome BBQ.

Reflection from the Pastor

“I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love

one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

All the priests of the diocese gathered for their Annual Priests Convocation last week and I was

reminded of the commandment that Jesus gives us this weekend. Why would one continue to be

a priest or become one in this day and age? I think it is because of the mission to love. Authentic

love is about total self-giving love towards another. This love derives from the self-giving love of

the persons of the Holy Trinity. For a priest, it is towards the Church, the bride of Christ. As I

celebrate my 2nd Presbyteral Ordination Anniversary this weekend, I thank God for calling me to

such a beautiful vocation. Please pray for me as I pray for you.

I remain your servant in Christ,

Fr. Alfred Omar

A Prayer for Priests

By John Cardinal O’Connor

O loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests, take to your heart

your sons who are close to you because of their priestly ordina-

tion and because of the power which they have received to car-

ry on the work of Christ in a world which needs them so much.

Be their comfort, be their joy, be their strength, and especially

help them to live and to defend the ideals of consecrated celi-

bacy.

Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You

have given them to us for OUR needs. We pray for them in

THEIR needs.

We know that You have made them priests in the likeness of

your own priesthood. You have consecrated them, set them

aside, anointed them, filled them with the Holy Spirit, appointed

them to teach, to preach, to minister, to console, to forgive, and

to feed us with Your Body and Blood.

Yet we know, too, that they are one with us and share our hu-

man weaknesses. We know too that they are tempted to sin

and discouragement as are we, needing to be ministered to, as

do we, to be consoled and forgiven, as do we. Indeed, we

thank You for choosing them from among us, so that they un-

derstand us as we understand them, suffer with us and rejoice

with us, worry with us and trust with us, share our beings, our

lives, our faith.

We ask that You give them this day the gift You gave Your cho-

sen ones on the way to Emmaus: Your presence in their hearts,

Your holiness in their souls, Your joy in their spirits. And let

them see You face to face in the breaking of the Eucharistic

bread.

We pray to You, O Lord, through Mary the mother of all priests,

for Your priests and for ours. Amen.

Living Catholic in the 808 A Heart Full of His Love

Very Rev. Msgr. Gary L. Secor, V.G. & Rector of the Cathedral Basilica

As we continue to celebrate the resurrection, today's scriptures lead us to realize that the living and risen presence of Christ brings us to the heart of how we are to proclaim that he lives; with a heart full of his love.

A heart full of his love is willing to undergo many hardships. Superficial love is sometimes sentimental, self-serving, and merely pleasurable. The love that Christ calls us to is deeply felt, selfless, and hurts when it is given. Only this sort of love allows us to enter the kingdom of God since it is only when we love in this way that God's truly reigns in our hearts.

A heart full of his love makes all things new. Some-times we can be stuck in old patterns of relating to God and others that are not really loving. Sadness can set in as we seem to be repeating the same mistakes which keep us living with past hurts. The love that Christ calls us to is creative and renews us. It challenges us to risk new ways of relating. Only this sort of love can renew our spirits.

A heart full of his love glorifies God. Often, we like to be in the spotlight and receive all the glory. We enjoy being noticed and paid attention to. The love that Christ calls us to glorifies God. It acknowledges that God is love and that we can only hope to love because we have first been loved by God. Only this sort of love gives God and others the credit for the love that we are blessed with and able to share.

May our lives and hearts full of love proclaim that we are his disciples and that he lives and dwells with us. May we be citizens of the new Jerusalem.

School Supplies/Back Pack Project Drive May 19-July 21

Newman Center Holy Spirit Parish, in collaboration with the Manoa Women’s Campus Club Thrift Shop, is once again as-sisting the UH Manoa Women Center “Student Parents @ Manoa” with a School Supplies Fund Drive from May 19-July 21.

The recipients are young student parents at UH Manoa who are challenged financially to provide school supplies for their your elementary age children while paying for their own books and supplies.

Helping Hands Hawaii is also supporting SP@Manoa with basic school supplies, so Newman Center and Women’s Club Thrift Shop will provide what is not otherwise being supplied.

Our goal this year, based on both the demonstrated need and on the very generous support given last year by Newman Community members. We are aiming for 40 backpacks for young children, ages K-5th grade.

Items needed are:

Backpack large enough to fit a binder (K-5)

Clipboard-letter size (K)

Kindermat-vinyl, slim, compact small size, no blanket (K)

Stainless steel water bottle (K-5)

Plastic School Pencil Box (K)

Watercolor paints with 1 brush & 8 colors (grades 1-5)

Compass, ball-bearing

Protractor, 12” ruler

Transparent tape, 1/2 inch X 36 yards

Glue sticks

Apron or oversized shirt

Dry-mark eraser

Hand sanitizer, small bottles

Sunscreen (stick preferred for individual application)

Each week between Mary 19 and July 21, we will be featuring one or two items for collection the following week. A display table with what is needed will be set up each week during the masses with a basket for the items to be placed. The week of July 21 we will be assembling the back packs and using the donated money to supplement what has been given to meet the goal of 40 filled backpacks.

Donations by check can be made to Newman Center with “school supplies drive” or “backpack project” in the memo space, or cash donations will be greatly appreciated.

A Stewardship Moment In today’s Gospel Jesus makes a bold and clear statement to his disciples. “I give you a new commandment: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” We are called to love others as a sign of our discipleship in Jesus Christ. That includes even those “others” we might prefer to forget. We are so often tempted to draw lines between those who we will love and those who we consider not worthy of our love. This week take time to reflect on Jesus’ love command. How often do we heed Jesus’ love command? What change in our lives must take place in order for us to obey this command?

Newman’s Summer Internship 2019

ATTENTION high school and university students!!! Looking to demonstrate your skills and ambition? How about gaining in-sights and skills that transfer to many professional jobs? Want your college and work applications to stand out among the com-petition? Sign up to be an intern at the Newman Center this summer!

Past interns have been university and high school students. High schoolers Nathan Yee and Mia Lettau organized a kids mov-ie night (and few hours of respite for parents); and Max Higa was inspired by his father, a firefighter, to get our fire extinguishers up to code and led a campaign to replace the automated external defibrillator (AED). Jonah Tiwanak, a UH Manoa student, facilitated a series of consultations on revamping our website to the one we have now. And newly baptized Ann Ngo collaborat-ed with St. Francis Adult Day Center for a Kupuna Care Day. What gifts and talents would you like to develop and share?

We are also looking for a sacristan while the campus ministry students are on vacation. They help prepare the liturgical environ-ment of the chapel for the Masses. Applicants must be 16 years or older. Contact Chris Malano for more information.

In the Words of Our Graduates

For a few weeks, we will be focusing on some of our graduating students and sharing reflections on their time at the

University of Hawaii—Manoa and their participation in the Newman ‘ohana.

Degree: B.S.—Human Development and Family Studies

Ministry activities: Lector at Weekday Mass

Newman has been a home away from home; a place of spir-

itual and physical rest during the hecticness of school life. The

support and warm welcome of the parish ministers and staff

these past 4 years have been an immense blessing.

How can we improve Newman Center’s

program, services, and outreach? Vol-

unteer opportunities or have a booth at

Diocesan Youth Day; also having New-

man Center staff and students come to

various young adult events throughout

the island and the diocese, wearing the

same shirts. More outreach to incoming

college students so that they know they

have a place to enrich their faith when at

school. Newman can also post events on the system wide UH

calendar.

Degree: B.S.—Biology

Hometown: Kahului, HI

Ministry activities: Mass Greeter, Eucharistic Minister, Lector,

Beautification Days, Student Council

Newman Center and the

community here has

helped me to grow in faith

and build friendships. I

have been involved with

the Student Council for

two years and one of my

responsibilities was to

train students in their li-

turgical ministries, such as Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers.

The event that was most valuable to me was the annual Fun

Run/Walk because it allowed me to be active and to meet the

community members of Newman and the wider community of

the university and Manoa.
