World AIDS Day - Hawaii 2 Zero

The Cathedral of
Saint Andrew:
The King and Queen’s
Church
World AIDS Day
Kamehameha V and Queen Emma
at a ceremony laying the cathedral
cornerstone, March 5, 1867
King Kamehameha IV and
Queen Emma were responsible
for bringing the Anglican Church
to Hawai’i. They gave land, part
of their royal garden, on which
the Cathedral was to be built. The
untimely death of Kamehameha
IV on St. Andrew’s Day, November 30, 1863, led his brother,
Kamehameha V, to dedicate the
cathedral to St. Andrew as a fitting memorial to a King.
The Queen traveled to England
to raise money, to commission
architects, and to purchase stone
from Caen in Normandy, which
was shipped to Hawai`i as ballast
in sailing ships. The first phase of
the Cathedral was completed in
time for Christmas 1886. The
final section, with the magnificent
stained glass West Window, was
completed in September, 1958.
The Cathedral honors the
memory of its royal founders
and patrons in celebrations
throughout the church year. In
2002 the Royal Patrons Chapel
was created in the Cathedral.
The W ahi Kapu (sacred space)
chapel, within the Cathedral, is
dedicated to the memory of
King Kamehameha IV and
Queen Emma.
In the Hawaiian tradition, the
presence of the kahili, feather
standards in the royal colors of
red and yellow, signified that
the ali‘i were in attendance.
Two kahili stand at the front of
the Cathedral, serving as physical reminders of the royal patrons who we continue to honor
to this day.

Suzanne Richmond-Crum Award
This award, dedicated to the memory of Suzanne RichmondCrum, former Director of HSPAMM, an HIV/AIDS medical care
program of the STD/AIDS Prevention Branch, is presented annually
by the Hawai’i Department of Health.
Suzanne passed away in 2004 after serving as Director of
HSPAMM for more than ten years. The award was established in
memory of the competence and compassion Suzanne demonstrated
in her HIV/AIDS work and is presented annually for “outstanding
contributions in providing HIV/AIDS services in Hawai’i.”
2015 Award Recipient: Cindy Medeiros
For nearly 19 years Ms. Medeiros has dedicated herself to
caring for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. She is currently an
HIV case manager for Hawai’i Island HIV/AIDS Foundation
(HIHAF). Throughout the years she has served in various roles at
HIHAF and has a deep understanding of and passion for the HIV
community on Hawai’i Island. Her focus has always been to support and help her HIV-positive clients. Ms. Medeiros is well respected and loved by the community that she serves.
Lenard Allen, a long-time colleague and previous Suzanne
Richmond-Crum Award recipient, said, “Cindy has many accomplishments and made outstanding contributions in the area of HIV/
AIDS in Hawai'i. She has been steadfast in her dedication to serving
all clients equally. For 19 years Cindy has been an advocate for all
those living with HIV. Whether marching in the Merrie Monarch
Parade to keep HIV awareness alive, working closely with clients,
or educating new employees beginning work in the field, she still
has the same compassion and dedication as she did 19 years ago.
Cindy has fielded thousands of calls from community members and
organizations requesting information and as a result has become
known by many as a team player with only one agenda: her client’s
wellbeing.”

Deep River (traditional spiritual)
Deep river. My home is over Jordan,
I want to cross over into campground.
Oh, don't you want to go to that Gospel Feast,
That promised land where all is peace?
Verleih uns Frieden, Felix Mendelssohn, sung in German
Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich,
Herr Gott, zu unsem Zeiten!
Es ist doch ja kein Andrer nicht,
Der fur uns könnte straiten,
Denn du, unser Gott Alleine!
Martin Luther
Grant peace in mercy, Lord we pray,
Peace in our time, O send us!
For there is none on earth but you,
None other to defend us.
Only you, Lord, can defend us.
Ubi caritas Ola Gjeilo (sung in Latin)
Ubi caritas et amor Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exsultemus et in ipso jucundemur.
Timeamus et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincere
Latin, 9th century
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ’s love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.

Loving hearts will forever remember the flowers
Blossoms scattered by a gusting blow of the wind
Unexpectedly setting the tree branches reeling
They are ever-sacred, an adorning lifetime lei
Patchwork Quilt, by Keali’i Reichel; 1997 (lyrics opposite)
Patchwork Quilt
They unfolded your lives one by one
They laid out your patchwork under the sun
And people gathered from miles around
To witness your quilt spread on the ground.
And then they called out your name
Oh yes they called out your name
Oh and you will live forever
You know that I'll be loving you
Just like a patchwork quilt.
Well there were men and women, mothers and fathers
Sisters and brothers, daughters and sons
And children and babies, and lovers and friends
They all lay before me sewn into one.
Your lives had meaning and your lives had joy
You touched so many people, many more than you will know
And you wrapped yourselves around me
As I walked along these rows
You're letting me feel your beautiful souls.
I feel the warmth of your lives
Oh and you will live forever
You know that I'll be loving you
Just like a patchwork quilt.
My heart spills over, flowing with tears
I cry for your suffering and
for your shortened years
And I'll take you with me as I walk away
Remembering you who have died with AIDS

He Wehi No Kananiokeakua (exit oli) - written by Dr. Puakea
Nogelmeier, for our late kumu George Kananiokeakua Holokai
Yes, I remember your names
Oh I remember your names
Oh and you will live forever
You know that I'll be loving you
Just like a patchwork quilt.
Kealii Reichel, 1997
