Father Paul Li, vicar of the east Hawaii Island vicariate, says a prayer in the new pavilion of Sacred Heart Shelter, the 20-unit complex of mini-houses erected on Catholic Church land, on June 30, the day of the shelter’s blessing and dedication. The shelter, for elderly and family evacuees of the ongoing Kilauea eruption on the Big Island, is a project of HOPE Services Hawaii, an affiliate agency of the Diocese of Honolulu. Dozens of companies and hundreds of volunteers contributed to the building of the 120-square-foot structures. (Photo courtesy of Joycelyn Cabal)
