Question
QUESTION: I am looking to hire a Hawaiian priest for a blessing of my girlfriend's and I 10 year anniversary. We are staying at turtle bay and live in Waikele but I can not find a priest I can hire for a blessing, please help

ANSWER: Aloha David,
Try these 2.
The first one, Kahu, gave a Hawaiian blessing for my daughter Leilani at Makapu'u, tell him I gave you his mail:

Reverand Kahu Wendell and Sharon Silva <kahu@hawaiialohaspirit.com>

The second one she is a famous Hawaiian kumu and might know others if Kahu cannot:
Kahalepuna Richardson-Naki <kahalepuna@hawaii.rr.com>


Let me know how it goes

QUESTION: aloha! The first email adress came back unknown and returned? Is there
another email I can try?

Mele Kalikimaka

Answer
Aloha,
Sorry to hear the address isn't valid anymore.
I couldn't write back earlier, I just arrived in Europe for a week.
Try to contact the kahu at Kaunakapili Church then, in China Town across from Tomashiro Fish Market. He did a funeral once for a friend of mine and he is a wonderful kahu too.
Don't worry we'll find a kahu for your anniversary.
Let me know if you get a hold of him and Mele Kalikimaka
