Photo: House blessing

08/22/2019 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Bishop Larry Silva poses with a group of other persons of Portuguese ancestry in front of the renovated two-bedroom Portuguese plantation house at Hawaii Plantation Village in Waipahu that he blessed Aug. 9. The house, modeled after the plantation homes at Poamoho Camp on Oahu, would have statues of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and a good luck rooster, a sewing machine, doilies and a rocking chair among other typical furnishings.
