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. |

You too can be a part of
our church's history by giving of your time, talent, and treasure to
help fulfill
God's promises.
