From the web: As the twentieth century dawned, the Honolulu-based Independent announced, "The Mormons are building a large church at Kalaupapa."[1] By 1904, two new chapels were dedicated: one in Kalawao, the other in Kalaupapa.[2] Construction on the latter had commenced several years earlier while John Haulani was serving as a branch president. During this period, the Saints were required not only to construct the edifice but also to provide funding for it. The meager allowance of fifty cents a week to residents made this an arduous challenge. Yet they saved their money & slowly accumulated needed materials, such as one-by-twelve-foot boards at twenty-five cents apiece, shingles, nails, & a costly bell. Love & devotion for their new chapel were the reward for their great patience & sacrifices. Church members fondly referred to their beloved new LDS chapel in Kalaupapa as "New Jerusalem." No rights are granted or implied other than for personal collectible use. Makes a terrific gift for the historic LDS, Kalaupapa, Kalawao, Hawaii collector or an addition to your collection! pub places folder Matted Photograph | 8x10 - Latter Day Saints Parish Hall, Kamehameha Street, Moloka'i Island, Kalaupapa, Kalawao, Hi Hawaii
