Greg blessing the candles shown Gift Continue Page 2 The Journey Gift Page 2 continue from page one Over thirty years ago, Halaki had received a handmade copper plaque as a gift from inmates from Hawaii, who were residents of a mainland correctional facility in the Washington Federal Penitentiary system close to Seattle. During visit to the correctional facility she danced the Hula and fellowshipped with the inmates from 1977-1979. Because they truly appreciated Halaki’s dancing and talk story sessions, she was presented with a handmade gift of love which now hangs prominently within our St. Mary’s sanctuary. Thought this wonderful piece of art had been in Halaki’s home since she first graciously received it, the family made a decision to bless the church with its presence. They wanted a “more fitting venue to be displayed”...“so more people could enjoy it.” Proud Altar Guild Members Young Mi Cohen Young Mi with Mary Mercier Cleaning up After Service The host for the February 8th Aloha Hour was Don and Denise Hargarten.
