best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend

with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul

everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help

bring about everlasting peace on earth,"

NOVEMBER 26, 2017 OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

A VIEW FROM THE PEW

Come, Let Us Adore Him!

The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, formerly re-

ferred to as "Christ the King," was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 as an

antidote to secularism, a way of life which leaves God out of man's thinking

and living and organizes his life as if God did not exist. The feast is intended

to proclaim in a striking and effective manner Christ's royalty over individu-

als, families, society, governments, and nations.

Today's Mass establishes the titles for Christ's royalty over men: 1) Christ is God, the Creator of the

universe and hence wields a supreme power over all things; "All things were created by Him"; 2)

Christ is our Redeemer, He purchased us by His precious Blood, and made us His property and pos-

session; 3) Christ is Head of the Church, "holding in all things the primacy"; 4) God bestowed upon

Christ the nations of the world as His special possession and dominion.

Today's Mass also describes the qualities of Christ's kingdom. This kingdom is: 1) supreme, extend-

ing not only to all people but also to their princes and kings; 2) universal, extending to all nations and

to all places; 3) eternal, for "The Lord shall sit a King forever"; 4) spiritual, Christ's "kingdom is not

of this world." — Rt. Rev. Msgr. Rudolph G. Gandas

NOVEMBER 26, 2017 OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

East Honolulu Food Festival

Aloha Mary, Star of the Sea

Families,

On April 28, 2018, Mary, Star of

the Sea Schools and Church will come together to

host the Thirteenth Annual East Honolulu Food

Festival. Close to 2000 people attend this family-

oriented event, which highlights the culinary

talents of 20 great local chefs, features exciting

live music, rides, games, and other fun activities

for the keiki, and hosts a Silent Auction.

The food festival is our main fundraising event.

Last year, the funds raised went towards: reach-

ing out to local homeless shelters, developing our

Parish Youth Ministry, upgrading technology

and firewall systems, building and furniture up-

grades. This year, we plan to use the funds

raised to continue facility upgrades, new sound

system, continue our outreach to local homeless

shelters, and contribute to scholarships provided

by the Mary, Star of the Sea Scholarship Fund at

the Augustine Educational Foundation.

The support of the school community has played

a key role in the success of the Silent Auction in

the past, and we are asking for your help again

this year. All donations are tax deductible to the

extent permitted by law. This year, we are

“going green” and implementing an online

auction. We are so excited to have the ability to

showcase your company logo with a direct link to

your website in full color on our online program

guide, online auction and ticket sales page. Your

$500 or more donation qualifies you for this

benefit.

Please know that we greatly appreciate your sup-

port. If you have any questions, feel free to email

breannejones17@gmail.com or call

(818) 324-6210.

Mahalo,

Breanne Jones, Silent Auction Co-Chair

The Stewardship Corner

In keeping Jesus message alive in our hearts, we

give thoughts to “what is a Steward?”

“One who is entrusted with the management of

property, finances, or other

affairs not his own; an administrator.”

During this Season of Thanksgiving, let us remem-

ber that everything we have is from God. All of

our Time, our Talents, and our Treasures are a

Gift. Let us manage these gifts which have been

entrusted to us and share these gifts to serve God,

our Parish, our families and our communities

graciously.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Holy Father’s Intention– November, 2017

That Christians in Asia, bearing witness to the

Gospel in word and deed, may promote dialogue,

peace, and mutual understanding with other

religions.

SUNDAY SCRIPTURE READINGS:

FIRST READING: Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17 - In this reading, God

speaks to Ezekiel announcing both comfort and judgment because the

shepherds, or leaders of Israel, have not cared for their subjects. God

promises to become their shepherd.

SECOND READING: 1 Corinthians 15:20-26, 28 - The Death

and Resurrection of Jesus is at the heart of Paul’s faith. He writes

about what God will do in the future, based on what God has al-

ready done. The Death and Resurrection of Christ is the founda-

tional belief of the whole church, past and present.

GOSPEL: Matthew 25:31-46 - Today’s Gospel speaks of the coming

of the Son of Man. The scene is the last judgment where we see people

who prepared well for the coming of the Son of Man, and those who did

not. All people will be judged on the mercy they show to the hungry,

thirsty, naked, and so on, whether they are Jesus’ disciples or not.
