This 19th century church was surprisingly well-kept and had a quiet beauty all it's own. It is set in a large, green lawn across from the bay. I felt like it would be a good place to worship.

I was coming back from a plumeria farm where I learned to make leis so I stopped at the church and said a prayer and placed a lei on the Father Damien statue. It made me cry to think of what he gave up and what he did for the residents of Kaulapapa. He was a wonderful man.Oh, the church is beautiful too.

His original church on beautiful site. It was windy and cooler than other side of peninsula in Feb. A relic of him(now a canonized saint) is in cemetery next to church. Amazingly, the cemetery on lower level of grounds lost most of it markers during a tsunami-probably the alaska/aleutin islands one. Guide said some medical condition made the patients have to spitup often, so Fr Damien had some holes in floor, where some plant frond funneled it off floor to ground below during church services..This church overlooks sea where new patients were basically exiled off boat offshore. Across road is ruins of original Bishop Home; which was childrens residence. And to think that until Fr Damien arrived in 1860s, for about 7 years it was lawless and every person fended for himself at that locale.

If my local church had a view like this one, you bet I would be there more often than I am. The view alone, at least for me, was enough to make me think that the Big Man left His heart in Molokai.

Beautiful experience. Beautiful trip across time. Please read my review of the mule ride to learn more about how this experience is a "bucket list" trip!
