2 Holy Father s Prayer Intentions for August 2012 From the Vatican General Intention: That prisoners may be treated with justice and respect for their human dignity. Missionary Intention: Youth Witness to Christ. That young people, called to follow Christ, may be willing to proclaim and bear witness to the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Word of Life Intercessions for Life August, 2012 Submitted by Deacon Walter Yoshimitsu, Chancellor August 5, 2012 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time For the leaders of our nation: that they may remember that the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness apply to all people, from conception to natural death; Bulletin Brief The State is at the service of the person whose well-being it safeguards in its many aspects, starting with the right to life, whose deliberate suppression may never be permitted.

The Internet pornography industry has larger revenues than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, ebay, Yahoo, Apple, and Netflix combined, with more than 100,000 websites peddling pornography every day. The Internet, including social networking media, offers a new outlet for acting out sexual impulses. How are we as Catholics called to respond?

From Lisa Gomes, Director, Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry Just a friendly reminder that registration for Diocesan Youth Day, are due by August 1, Fee increases to $60 per person after August 1. This event is fun for the whole family! Blessed Pope John Paul II believed that young people were not just the Church of tomorrow, but the Church of today. To better equip them for their witness to Jesus, all youth are invited to celebrate the gift of their Catholic faith at Diocesan Youth Day on Saturday, September 1, 2012 at Wet n Wild Hawaii in Kapolei, Oahu beginning at 9:00 a.m. This year s theme is Rejoice in the Lord always (Phil 4:4). It invites our young people to reflect on the presence of God in their daily lives and renew their faith so that they can share it with others. Even when we are not aware of it, God is present, embracing us with His love, filling us with joy; giving us reason to REJOICE. The theme is fitting as we are preparing to celebrate the Year of Faith. The Road Map planning process unveiled for us the importance of youth and young adult ministry in our parishes, and in our diocese. Diocesan Youth Day is one way for our young people to gather in faith, express their joy, be inspired by God s word, and live it out. View the trailer for Diocesan Youth Day 2012 here: For more information on Diocesan Youth Day, please contact the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry at or hawaiicathyyam@rcchawaii.org. 8
