    Saint Benedict Roman Catholic Church looks over Kealakekua Bay. The church is still worshiped in today, but it was erected over 120 years ago, in 1899, by Father John Velghe. He had never learned to paint on wood, but he worked on the chruch paintings because, at the time, most native Hawai'ians could not read forgin English,  so he tried to teach with the pictures he painted.
