The Grace Parish Center of St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Kailua-Kona was blessed Feb. 23 by Bishop Larry Silva, right. The name of the center, which will house parish activities and ministries, is both a recognition of God’s blessings and a tribute to Grace Wilsey, pictured above with her parents, Kristen and Matt Wilsey, regular visitors to the Big Island parish. Grace, who was diagnosed in 2013 at age 4 with an extremely rare genetic disorder, has defied the odds and thrived. (Photos courtesy of Dann Ebina)
