What a wonderful place! It was so exciting to see what God is doing in Kapolei! Can't wait to go back.

As part of our faith journey and to better acquaint ourselves with a greater sense of Catholic…read morehistory in Hawai'i, we sought to visit all 37 parishes on Oahu by 2022. So far, we've experienced many joys by doing so (only 10 more left to visit) and our most recently enchanting visit to St Rita di Cascia in Nanakuli, certainly gave us a new perspective of life on the homestead. The parishioners were extremely warm and welcoming and freely provided us with much in the way of history. This small parish of 200 families has been established here since 1931. Located immediately across the road from Nanakuli beach park, and the original 19th century railway that used to transport people, sugarcane and pineapples to market/export, this mission-style church contains many hand carved artifacts. There is even an icon "written" in the eastern style of St Rita by a North Shore artist who was inspired by a visit years ago and donated her composition to the church. I was too engrossed in the iconography to remember to take a photo (next time). St Rita is the patron saint of impossible causes and broken families, so in these modern days plagued with divorce and infidelity she serves as an appropriate intercessor. Pray for us Santa Rita! The banyan tree outside is far older than the building (which was originally moved to Nanakuli from its previous location in Ewa). The altar is situated "ad orientum" but the tabernacle sadly is not. It was evident that the church layout was modified from its original orientation sometime between 1980-2000 but the original layout that preserved the Narthex, Nave, and Sanctuary in my opinion was far more liturgically correct. Highly recommend a visit here to worship our Lord and I have no doubt the parishioners will welcome you with the same aloha we were given. Mahalo for reading my review. Pax et Bonum.
