My dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
What an amazing, joyful decade it has been in the rosary of
life! With love and support of each other our gifts were/are able
to flourish. It has been such a blessing to serve our Church and
our Lord with all of you. I remain inspired by your presence. God
is indeed among us.
My new parish will be St. Theresa's Catholic Church located in
Kihei(city), Maui(island), Hawaii(state). Kihei(kee-hay) could
almost be considered the Pacific Grove of Maui: quaint hometown
with about 20,000 residents. I will begin my ministry there in
November.
My last Sunday here will be September 30th, but you will always
be 'family'. You will always be a part of me as I hope I will be a
part of St. Angela Merici. In the meantime, please pray that God
will send St. Angela Merici the person we need and who needs
us.
In Hawaiian, 'Mahalo' (mah-hah-loh), is used to say 'thank you',
but it goes beyond just that. It is almost undefinable and
indescribable for it must be experienced. Both 'Aloha' and 'Mahalo'
are acknowledgements of the Divinity that dwells within and
without. So basically, 'ma ('in') ha ('breath') lo(presence,front,
face)' conveys "May you be in (Divine) breath." That is what I
express to you-Deep gratitude beyond measure bundled with the love
of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Mahalo, Alex
Music is an integral par t of every liturgical celebration at
St. Angela Mer ici. There are many ways to be involved in the Music
Ministry. The first and most important opportunity is through the
“full, active and conscious” participation in the assembly. We
encourage you to sing in a clear, strong voice while you are at
liturgy. St. Augustine teaches “those who sing once, pray twice.”
The choir is always looking for new members to help inspire the
assembly every week. Rehearsals take place Thursday evenings at
6:30pm Our cantors provide musical leadership at all liturgies of
the parish. An audition and interview is required. One should be
able to read music and have a pleasant voice to be a cantor.
Special training will provided as required. We are always looking
for instrumentalists to play in our liturgies. Instrumentalists are
used with the piano to Accompany and assist the assembly in their
participation in the liturgy. Anyone interested is invited to
contact Alex! Ph. 831-655-4160 ext. 26 or [email protected]
or see her after any Mass!

Villa Maria Del Mar Retreat, October 12-14, 2018 Title: The
Neuroscience of Contemplation, Gratitude and Compassion Presenters:
Dr. Joe and Judy Neary Emerging evidence from the new fields of
contemplative and social neuroscience reveal that practices such as
meditation, gratitude, compassion, as well as mindful movement
practices such as yoga and tai chi, can enhance our health and lead
to enduring happiness and well-being. The benefits of these mindful
living practices include increases in immune function and longevity
and decreases in levels of stress, chronic pain, anxiety, and
depression. We will discuss recent neuroscience evidence and
conduct exercises to give experience of these practices. Included:
contemplative time, group sharing, individual conferences, yoga
sessions and 4:00 pm Villa Mass on Saturday for those who wish. Joe

Medical School, Marine Biological Lab, University of Miami School
of Medicine and the VA Medical Center. He has published 100

memory, neuroendocrinology, and traumatic brain injury. Judy is
