| BISHOP'S LETTER TO THE DIOCESE |

Thoughts from Bishop Fitzpatrick after the tragedy in Orlando
It has not been easy to write something after the tragedy in Orlando. The emotions of frustration, anger and sadness merge. As I have pondered and prayed through the past couple of days, I come away with a few thoughts.
As a nation today, the United States is violent and frightened. The culture of violence is deep in our soul. Our nation was formed by slavery and expansionism that displaced (and obliterated) the original people of the land. It continues in our obsession with guns and a jingoistic notion of being "the greatest." All of this masks a fear of being marginalized and powerless. This is driven by a fear that there is not "enough" (wealth, power, life) to go around, and the fear of the other and those who are different. Isn't fear often the cause of sin? I think fear drives our collective sin as a nation. Fear drives individual acts of violence. We just now have the means to do great harm.

Future Leaders in Washington D.C.
Casey Nakamura and Grace Yatsko had an opportunity to connect last week in Washington D.C.
This summer, Casey is an intern for U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono (Hawaii). As an intern, Casey will gain firsthand knowledge of how a Senate office operates, engage with constituents, observe the federal legislative process, and develop research skills related to public policy.
Grace was a member of the Hawaii delegation to the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour of Washington D.C. Participants watch history come alive as they explore Washington D.C.'s museums, memorials and monuments. Each state delegation has the opportunity to meet their state's U.S. Representatives and Senators. Participants also gather for National Youth Day sponsored by The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). Youth Day attendees learn about the rich history of electric cooperatives and the important role of being an active participant in our democracy.

FiF Dodgeball at All Saints'
The 11th anniversary of Kauai's premier family-centered sporting event that draws people from around the island, state, and mainland is scheduled for July 22 and July 23, 2016. Team and individual registration is now available, please visit the FiF Dodgeball website. It is recommended that players and teams register early. Participants are NOT required to have a team when they register. Individuals who do not have a team will be placed on a team a week before the tournament starts.
The FiF Dodgeball Tournament is run solely by volunteers. This ministry welcomes the help of our All Saints' 'Ohana to make this year's dodgeball program another huge success. Volunteer roles include referees, tournament staff, gym supervisors, setup and breakdown assistance, and traffic/security oversight. To volunteer, please click here.
