Earthquake Eats
Though the earthquake that hit off the coast of the Big Island on Sunday shook up Chaminade, it was almost business as usual. Grissel Benitez-Hodge, dean of students, and Venus Ituralde, residential life director, made sure the students were safe and the dorms were secure.

Mackey Lecture Series a go despite Sunday’s earthquake
The Mackey Lecture Series presented “Eucharist and the Church’s Prophetic Mission” on Sunday in the Mystical Rose Oratory, despite the power outage caused by an earthquake that morning. Co-hosted by Saint Louis School, the Marianist Center of Hawaii and Chaminade, the event featured Father David Power, OMI, professor emeritus from the School of Theology and Religious Studies at Catholic University of America. Father Power discussed how the Church draws its inspiration from its character as a eucharistic community and is called to be prophetic in today’s culture and society. Twenty people braved the elements to attend the event.

A friendly reminder to please e-mail ALL information to be included in Chaminade Weekly to news@chaminade.edu. Many people continue to e-mail items directly to Kapono Dowson Ryan, who no long produces this publication, or Stacia Garlach, who is the current editor. Please note that there is a much higher likelihood that your information will make it into CW in a timely way if you send it directly to news@chaminade.edu.
It is difficult to keep track of all the information when it comes to three separate e-mail accounts. When it is sent to our individual accounts, 1) the editor might not have access to the information for production, and 2) it can easily be lost in our daily work-related e-mail.
