Most Reverend Larry Silva Visits Chaminade THIS YEAR’S MEETING TOOK ON A DIFFERENT FORM, WITH CHAMINADE HAVING THE EXTREME HONOR OF SAFELY HOSTING THE BISHOP ON CAMPUS. THE VISIT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE HOW THE UNIVERSITY AND THE DIOCESE COULD COME TOGETHER DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED TIMES OF NEED TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.
“I thought that meeting some of the people that are doing work that contributes to the shared mission of the diocese and the university would be helpful to him and to us,” says Bro. Edward Brink, S.M., Chaminade’s vice president of mission and rector who helped arrange the visit. “I hope the visit will help both the Bishop and those of us who met with him to think creatively about how the university and the diocese can serve the people of Hawai'i.”
Most Reverend Larry Silva began his visit by meeting with Fr. Martin Solma, S.M.; Dr. Dave Coleman, professor of Religious Studies; Dr. Dustyn Ragasa, director of the Master in Pastoral Theology program; and Jeremiah Carter, director of Campus Ministry.
