We were met by a gentleman who gave us shell leis as welcome, and by an extraordinary woman who was bringing in plastic bottles - big bags of them to an area so the church could cash them in for a nickle to support their school. She explained the difficulty they have in supporting their school because many of the islanders that would like to send their children to Catholic school are simply too poor to do so.<br /><br />The Mass was simple but beautiful. The building has large sliding doors that open to on the sides to let the island breezes come in as you worship. The church was full... and it was an awe inspiring experience, considering that the church has less than 50 full time members.<br /><br />Consider visiting, one hour out of your vacation time to give to God isn't much. And try to be generous with your donation if you can.. They need the help, for a very worthy cause.Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02013370068544290504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073714067126237581.post-10819301523048074092010-02-23T07:46:24.448-08:002010-02-23T07:46:24.448-08:00Hanalei is a beautiful part of Hawaii.
