As the Diocese of Honolulu prepares to welcome Bishop-Elect Michael T. Castori, S.J., we place our hope in the Lord.

Psalm 131 is a prayer of humility and trust. It reminds us to quiet our hearts before God and to rest in His providence.

In this season of preparation and transition, may we entrust the future of our local Church to the Lord.

As we continue to pray for Bishop-Elect Michael T. Castori, S.J., we turn to the words of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus.

The Suscipe Prayer is a prayer of surrender, offering everything back to God and trusting fully in His will.
⁣
May this be our prayer in this season of preparation and transition for the Diocese of Honolulu.

Take, Lord, and receive.

201 years ago today, on May 19, 1825, the proposal for a Catholic mission to the Hawaiian Islands was presented in Rome. Fr. Pierre Marie-Joseph Coudrin accepted the mission for the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts, and Vatican approval followed on February 1, 1826. With these first steps, the Catholic mission to Hawaiʻi was beginning to take shape.

As the Diocese of Honolulu prepares to welcome Bishop-Elect Michael T. Castori, S.J., many may be wondering what happens during this time of transition.

Until his Episcopal Ordination and Installation, Bishop Larry Silva continues to serve as Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Honolulu. During this time, we give thanks for Bishop Larry’s nearly 21 years of episcopal ministry in Hawaiʻi, and we pray for Bishop-Elect Castori as he prepares to begin his ministry as our new bishop.

Let us ask the Holy Spirit to guide our local Church in this time of transition.

Our Lady of Peace, pray for us.
St. Damien and St. Marianne, pray for us.
