ST. TERESA CATHOLIC CHURCH Mountain View, Hawaii

Expedition Team: Dave Miller, Rosie Miller

Date: March 9, 2025

At mass, this tiny church built in 1936 had about 40 parishioners, a very charismatic priest (Father Samuel) with a good sermon and dozens of beautiful murals. The wood building was a former military hospital. This was not the first painted church in Hawaii, but a former priest (Father Gielen) hand painted all of the colorful ceiling murals and side panels depicting scenes from the bible. Scenes included Jesus commanding Peter to drop the fishing net to catch fish (Photo#2), Cain & Able (Photo#3), and raising Lazarus from the dead (Photo#4)
