PWH Scholars Gather for Retreat, Faith & Fellowship

PWH Scholars, led by their counselor Mrs. Cleo Eubanks and student support specialist, Mrs. Melissa Thach, gathered for a retreat on Wednesday and Thursday, taking time to focus on their personal, social, and spiritual growth while strengthening their sense of community and connection with one another.

On Thursday morning, the Scholars attended the Mass of the Holy Spirit, joining Catholic educators from across the state in worship. The Mass was celebrated with the Most Reverend Michael Thomas Tupou Castori, S.J. and Bishop Emeritus Larry Silva. The Scholars also had the opportunity to serve the Catholic school community by assisting with hospitality and helping with refreshments following the Mass. It was a meaningful morning of faith, service, and reflection, offering an opportunity to renew their commitment to serving others and strengthening Catholic education throughout Hawaiʻi.

Following the Mass, the Scholars returned to St. Anthony Retreat Center, where they continued their time together and welcomed their families for a special dinner. The gathering provided a wonderful opportunity for Scholars and their loved ones to connect, share in fellowship, and celebrate the supportive community that surrounds them.

Hula Dance Studio Blessing

🌺 A New Space for Hula, Culture & Connection 🌺

Sacred Hearts Academy recently celebrated the blessing of our new Hula Dance Studio, a dedicated space where students will deepen their connection to Hawaiʻi through hula, language, history, storytelling, and tradition.

Our hālau, Nā Puʻuwai o ka Ua Līlīlehua, takes its name from the misty rain of Līlīlehua, traditionally associated with Pālolo and the upper areas of Waikīkī—the rain of the area surrounding Sacred Hearts Academy. Like the cool, gentle Līlīlehua rain, our young women are called to care for and nurture their ʻāina and community of Kaimukī. 🌧️🌺

This school year, Kumu Haukea Ho ’97, a proud SHA alumna, will lead hula instruction for middle and high school students, as well as after-school enrichment classes.

Through hula, students will learn more than choreography. They will discover Hawaiian language, history, values, storytelling, and a deeper respect for place—honoring traditions while carrying them forward.

Mahalo nui loa to Moʻolelo Studios for helping bring this vision to life and investing in the cultural education of our students for generations to come. 🤍💛
