Who know any orthodox on the Island of kauai ?

We are starting plans to move to Kauai. There are no parishes there. So I'm hoping to meet some other Orthodox on line before we move to see what they do? Besides surf

If I may say,

Although there is a ROCOUR Church on Kauai, they've yet to establish an official website. But their presence is known there - and there are other other Orthodox throughout the Hawaiian Islands thankfully. On the island next to Kauai (Oahu), there are a couple of Orthodox Churches - including a Coptic Orthodox Church (St.Mark's CHurch) that is in position to move over to Kauai. In regards to Orthodoxy in Hawaii, it dates back to the 1700’s when the first Russian envoys that stopped here on the way to or from colonies in the United States...and by 1815, the first Orthodox church was erected on the island of Kaua’i.

For some resources on the issue:

• Orthodoxy in Hawaii
• Praying With My Feet: Orthodoxy in Hawaii
• Orthodoxy on the Hawaiian Islands - Православие.Ru
• TWO HUNDRED YEARS ON THE ROAD: A History of the Orthodox Church in Hawaii

You may also enjoy orthodoxinhawaii : Orthodox Christians in Hawaii - as the the group there was created to offer news and information on "what's going on" in the ancient Orthodox Christian Church in the Hawaiian Islands. ..and provide a common link to all Orthodox Christian families in Hawaii or formerly of Hawaii.

Praying for your journey to be a memorable one and something the Lord does amazing things through. ...and I've always found it amazing when seeing/experiencing Orthodox practice from a Polynesian perspective - as seen in Orthodoxy and Hawaiian Culture. Beautiful work, IMHO

Aloha. May you and your family have many blessings. Lord, have mercy.

I remember looking at Orthodoxy in Hawaii a while back (I get curious about Orthodoxy's presence in different states so when I'm bored I kind of research it). I think there's a Russian mission on the island that has a Divine Liturgy once a month or so, if I remember right. I think the mission is served by the priest from the ROCOR parish in Honolulu...

If you go to the Honolulu parish's website, I think there's a page on there or something that talks about when the priest will be in Kauai, but I could be wrong.

Here's the ROCOR parish's website: http://www.orthodoxhawaii.org/

Aloha

Was alerted to this recently and hoping that you are able to come across it somehow if you've already moved there...
