The Senior Class visited with Bishop Larry Silva in his annual “Bagels with the Bishop” program on Apr. 8.

Bishop Silva visits Hawaii Catholic high schools to encourage seniors to maintain their faith after graduation.

Students took individual pictures with the bishop and enjoyed a light breakfast of bagels and fruits.

The bishop’s talk focused on scripture from the gospel of Luke about the resurrection of Christ. Bishop Silva emphasized the mission to spread the good news of Christ and said, “Be on fire with God’s love that you want nothing more than to go out and share that love with others.”

Before the bishop arrived, seniors were invited to write questions they have about the bishop or the church.

“Let the love of the Lord influence everything you do,”said Bishop Silva when asked what advice he would give to the seniors as they prepare for college.

Senior Shadee Edralin said, “I enjoyed the bishop’s talk to us about maintaining our faith journey and his advice on letting Christ influence our decisions. I will definitely continue my faith journey as I go on to college.”
