Lay Marianists Maui

Fr. Jerry and Roland - Iao Valley

Blessings and greetings for the New Year; imagine, it has been four months since I've updated my blog since November 20th. Yesterday, on March 20th, the first day of Spring, has been a beautiful day here on Maui. School and parish are doing well and we are experiencing warm and sunny weather here on the Island of Maui. We have had lots of rain and the temperature have been on the cool side, sometimes in the 40's upcountry and high 50's here in Wailuku and Kahului.

Yesterday we had a Marianist gathering at our community/rectory when thirty of our parishioners welcomed Jim and Sue Vogt from Kentucky. They are lay Marianists who have been involved int he Marianist family for 40 years. They gave a presentation on their experiences ministering with our religious Marianists in Kentucky, Cincinnati, Ohio and Michigan. Picture here with Jim Vogt is Carol Guerrero - sitting with Cora and Jovi Dongon, parishioners of St. Anthony parish. They are interested in becoming lay Marianists. We are beginning to develop lay Marianists here at the parish.
