Friday Fotos – St Augustine by the Sea Church

By

During our last visit to Honolulu, we kept seeing this building from our condo. The architecture intrigued me and so we went to find it. It’s St Augustine by the Sea Roman Catholic Church I had to get a few photos. This gorgeous building turns out to have come from very humble beginnings. The parish was founded in 1854. According to the staugustinebythesea.com, “…it was the third parish church established in the fledgling Hawaii Catholic Church, which was beginning to grow after a period of persecution in the 1830s.”

As it turns out, the first parish church was a temporary chapel constructed of coconut fronds and  timber that had washed ashore. Fast forward one hundred and sixty years and wow, St Augustine by the Sea church is quite an eye catcher!

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.

      Hi Julie, isn’t it gorgeous? I’d seen in from a distance on previous visits, but wanted to get up close this time. I’m so glad I did!
