Trinity by-the-Sea Special Events
TRINITY LUAU The day started off with a Craft Faire with hand-made crafts created by members of our church. We had many delicious sweets available at our bake sale and offered an ono plate lunch - Korean Short Ribs, chicken, rice and corn. After lunch, a silent auction with many donations solicited by Cora Camarillo began and continued through the luau. At 4PM a colorful service honoring our Ali'i was filled with Native Hawaiian Hymns, Oli, meles and a spiritually uplifting Hula. It was held within the ruins of the historic Kilolani Church built by David Malo, one of the first native-born Christian ministers and preeminent Native Hawaiian scholar and historian of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The inspirational Homily was given by Kahuna Pule John Hau'oli Tamoso of the Royal Order of Kamehameha 'Ekahi - Kahekili Chapter. After the service, a Hawaiian welcoming ceremony began the luau that was filled with music, dance, lots of food, great fellowship and a feeling of accomplishment. This fundraiser netted close to $3,000. It truly was a great way to end this Ho'aha'aina (Feast) befitting of such Royal subjects. I would like to thank the following people for their support and hard work at our Ho'aha'aina: Father Austin and Maureen Murray; the entire vestry; my Komike especially Terri Pike; Soot & Judith Bredhoff; Rama & Cora Camarillo; Joan Vila; Rosemary Scott; Wendy McDonald; Dick and Barbara Zipf; Dick & Laurie Anderson; Tom & Deb Kelly; the Jacksons; to the Altar Guild; the many church members who found a way to help in their own way and the many Maui community members who assisted; The Maui High School Key Club (Thanks to Kyra Vila); St. Theresa Catholic Church; City & County of Maui, Department of Parks and Recreation; the vendors at Azeka Shopping Center and to anyone I may have missed - a big Mahalo Nui Loa!
