Saint Damien served as the pastor of the Kohala mission for eight years from 1865 until 1873. In 1873, Saint Damien left to care for the lepers of Molokai. Saint Marianne Cope also served at this church before joining Saint Damien on Molokai. The interior has many beautiful paintings of bible stories. Saint Damien worked among the lepers in a quarantine leper colony, teaching, dressing their wounds, building schools, houses, roads, hospitals and churches. Saint Marianne and her nuns assisted him.
