Laulima Campaign

St. Raphael Laulima Campaign

*Laulima is Hawaiian for "Many Hands Working Together"

The Laulima Campaign, our first capital campaign in over 20 years reached its initial goal of $500,000 to address the replacement of the existing roofs and repair of windows of our churches and other buildings.

We originally had proposed to use an asphalt shingle, however, when we compared the cost to an aluminum shingle, we found that the incremental cost was much less than double the cost of the asphalt shingle yet offered 3 times the lifespan of the asphalt shingle. Another additional cost resulted from significant rot in the roof of the bell tower that necessitated the replacement of the roof structure. 


As a result, we now have roofs that will serve the community for the next 50-years! The upgraded shingle and bell tower repair did raise our projected funds required to complete the project from 500,000 to 600,000 dollars. As a result, we have added a stretch goal to our campaign to minimize the amount of money we need to withdraw from our saving accounts.

Introducing the St. Raphael Giving Tree

We thank and appreciate the generosity of congregants who donate to help us reach our campaign goals by providing you with an opportunity to commemorate life's important moments through a customized inscription on one or more "leaves" designed and placed in the church in the form of a tree - a symbol of life, fertility and solidarity. Every leaf can be inscribed as a lasting memento of your generous commitment to the long-term well-being of the parish.
