We come to Hawaii for 1-2 weeks each year and we have been going to this church every time. Many of the people have remembered us and they are all very warm and welcoming! If you want a church where you are not noticed or can get in and out without talking to anyone - this is not the church for you! They all are very helpful and friendly. Even my children love coming here to church. The pastor (Brian) is great and has a good message every time!

I had stepped foot onto the premises of Sacred Heart Parish Waianae on two separate occasions. Both occasions were to attend funerals. The first funeral happened many years ago. Celebrating the life of Uncle Blackie Rita...a short Filipino Hawaiian male who loved to teach country line dancing and smoke cigars. R.I.P. Uncle Blackie. My most recent visit to the parish was to attend the funeral services of one of the vendor representative. Thomas (Tommy) Salas was a representative for the Budweiser family who stopped by my workplace to place orders for the many cases of beers. He was a good spirited fun loving individual who touched the lives of many people. His coworkers from Budweiser were there to pay their respects and one of the lady members gave a eulogy. There was a choir in the church who sang beautifully in a language I could not understand (what language do people in Guam speak). At one point during the service I did take a walk towards the reception hall (in a separate building) that had tables and chairs set up for people to enjoy the food and refreshments. Next to the reception hall was the restrooms. Returning back to the church I noticed that the little children was getting fussy since the service itself was taking too long. Viewing of the body started at 9am. Refreshments and food at 9:30am. Service started at 10am and was still going after the noon hour. I too opted to leave the service early...otherwise I would have fallen asleep which is a no no in church. Tommy Salas: you will be greatly missed by your loving wife and children. I know you are now their guardian angel in heaven watching over their lives until that one day you will be reunited with your family in the clouds above. R.I.P. "Bolohead" Tommy Salas. 42/200

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.
