Father Arnold Ortiz of the Oblates of St. Joseph and Sister Ruth Zonunthari of the Missionary Sisters of Mary Help of Christians rappelled down the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel Nov. 2 as part of the “Over the Edge” fundraiser for Special Olympics Hawaii. Parishioners from St. Elizabeth Church in Aiea, where Father Ortiz is administrator and Sister Ruth works, were on hand to witness the priest’s and nun’s descent down the building’s 31 stories.
