Wedding Memories

From the Onoda family, then and now.


My wife and I had the honor of celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this year.

We were married at your beautiful church in September 2004, and we had the pleasure of revisiting the place where we began our journey together, this time.

It was deeply moving to see that the church still retains the same charming atmosphere as it did back then.

It allowed us to relive the wonderful memories of our wedding day vividly.

Additionally, sharing this experience with our children made it all the more special.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for maintaining such a special place.

It means so much to us, and we are truly appreciative of the opportunity to return and share this milestone with our family.

Kūpuna Day!


Last Thursday, we had an incredible morning filled with joy and celebration alongside our grandparents, grand-friends, and loved ones.

Our all-school chapel was packed, and our classrooms were buzzing with fun activities as we honored and spent time with our kūpuna.
