Molokai History:<\/p>\n
(taken from “Father Damien’s Letters”, by Congregation of the Sacred Hearts, Rome, 2017)<\/p>\n
From a letter from Fr. Damien to his superior, Fr. Modeste Favens, ss.cc., from Kaluaaha, June 14, 1874.<\/p>\n
Our work in Kaluaaha is advancing; in two weeks, there won’t be many nails left to pound into place. Then comes the painting. Please send me a bell and a nice painting for the altar, as well as a supply of all colors of paint, either in powdered form or in cans – colors: red, green, blue, yellow, brown.<\/p>\n
Kindly reach some understanding with the Bishop concerning the blessing of the chapel in the month of July. The island of Molokai needs an episcopal visit.<\/p>\n
Still waiting for repair is the old stone house. The roof and one wall are still good. With 1,000 feet of rough lumber placed upright, it would make a good schoolhouse or something else. What?<\/p>\n
Your very humble servant,<\/p>\n
Brother Damien ss.cc.

Blessings! Pono! Pule!<\/p>\n
