| Overlooking beautiful and historic Kealakekua Bay, St. Benedict�s Painted Church is a fascinating place to visit on your journey to the Big Island of Hawaii. Located in the famous Kona coffee growing region, it is the jewel of South Kona, at a place called Honaunau. While it is an important historical site, it is still a vibrant parish, with outreach programs to take care of those in need and to provide medical services for our local community. |

The Palace itself was first home to High Chief John Adams Kuakini, brother of Ka�ahumanu the favorite wife of Kamehameha, and later home to more members of Hawaiian royalty than any other residence in Hawai�i. Hulihe�e Palace consists of six large graciously appointed rooms, two large inviting oceanfront lanai and lovely grounds. |
