The History of Our Parish |
|
|
|
In 1938
Father Bruno Bens, SS. CC., the provincial |
|
superior
of the Sacred Hearts Fathers, acquired 23 acres |
|
of land by
purchasing several adjacent lots along |
|
Kalanianaole Highway opposite Kuliouou Valley. On this |
|
newly purchased land, a small simple church was built. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The vicar
delegate, Reverend Victorinus Claesner, SS. CC., |
|
in the
absence of Bishop Stephen Alencastre, blessed the |
|
new
Blessed Trinity Chapel of Kuliouou on January 8, 1939. |
|
|
|
Until 1944
it was attached to St. Patrick's Church in |
|
Kaimuki as
a mission station, when, with the appointment of |
|
Father
James Beynes, SS. CC., Holy Trinity became an |
|
independent parish. |
|
|
|
Father Henry Boeynaems, SS. CC. became pastor in 1956 |
|
and immediately began planning a new church. On December |
|
21, 1958 Bishop James J. Sweeney blessed this second Holy |
|
Trinity Church and offered the first mass. |
|
|
 |
Many
great changes have since taken place to make our church what it is
today. The most noticeable change comes in the form of a beautiful
stained glass picture window above the tabernacle in the front of the
Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
The
picture is that of Nature, God’s first creation. It is a peaceful scene
representative of these Hawaiian Islands. |
