Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Hawi, Catholic church in Hawi, Hawaii.
Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Hawi is a church building with Gothic Revival style architecture and French-made stained glass windows that cast colored light through its interior. The structure features the typical layout of a parish church with an altar, pews, and entryways designed for congregation gatherings.
The original chapel was founded by Father Clement Evrard in the 1800s, and the present church structure replaced it with its dedication in 1914. The building has served as an important religious center on the island since that time.
The community incorporates Hawaiian greetings such as 'Aloha' and 'E Komo Mai' into its Catholic worship, showing how local customs and Christian practices have merged together. Many island residents have maintained family traditions at this place over the decades.
The church is located in Hawi on the Big Island and can be reached on foot from the town center. Visitors should wear appropriate attire when entering and plan to visit during daylight hours for the best view of the interior.
The building received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 for its historical importance. This designation honors its architectural quality and religious value to the island community.
