"I tell you most solemnly, I am the gate of the
sheepfold. All others who have come are thieves and
brigands; but the sheep took no notice of them.
“I am the gate. Anyone who enters through me will be
safe: he will go freely in and out and be sure of
finding pasture. The thief comes only to steal and
destroy. I have come so that they may have life and
have it to the full."
(John 10:7-10)

Mary, Star of the Sea Early Learning Center
Receives Grant Award from Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation
Mary, Star of the Sea Early Learning Center was awarded a grant for the completion
of its playground renovation project. Executive Director of the Clarence T.C. Ching
Foundation, Tertia Freas, presented a check in the amount of $50,000 to the ELC
Director, Lisa Foster on April 29, 2017 at Mary, Star of the Sea Church. (See Photo
Below)
On behalf of the Clarence T. C. Ching Foundation, each ELC family received a copy of
the book, “A Prophecy Fulfilled: The Story of Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation.” It is
an amazing and inspiring story of a man who came from very humble beginnings; the
son of Chinese immigrant parents and one of ten children. As a child, Clarence was
weak and sickly, but overcame the challenges in his life and went on to become a man
of vision, amazing generosity and humanitarian spirit. Clarence T.C. Ching passed
away on May 29, 1985 at the age of 72. Just days after his passing, the Honolulu
Advertiser wrote:
As the son of an immigrant father, Clarence Ching worked hard all his life. He proved
that a humble beginning is no barrier if one has constructive dreams and the ability and
determination to make them come true.”

SUNDAY SCRIPTURE READINGS:
FIRST READING: Acts of the Apostles 2:14a, 36-41 - This reading,
if taken together with that of the following Sunday, provides an alterna-
tive theme in exploring the preaching of the early Church in the persons
of Paul and Barnabas. The mission first to the Jews is now to be placed
second to the mission to the Gentiles, — a theme which warns that those
who follow the Lord will themselves endure trials and sufferings.
SECOND READING: 1Peter 2:20b-25 - In these verses today, St.
Peter is giving advice to Christians who were slaves. He tells them to be
submissive to their masters with all respect.
GOSPEL: John 10:1-10 - We have Christ as our shepherd—He tells
us so himself in today's gospel—and we do not resent being called sheep
in this context. There is something guileless about a sheep, and at the
same time a lot of foolishness! But with Christ as our shepherd and the
"good shepherd" who is sincerely interested in the true welfare of His
flock we have reason to rejoice.
