Tradition of Ali‘i Sunday’s at Kawaiaha‘o Church

Ali‘i Sundays are among the many long and honored traditions of Kawaiaha‘o Church, which began about
1914. In the 1970’s our people were embarking on a tidal wave of change. In the midst of circumstance
and sensing the urgency to unite Hawai‘i’s people and rekindle their strength and purpose in Ke Akua
[God], the Reverend Dr. Abraham Akaka rejuvenated these services as part of the larger cultural
awakening already taking place.

He reminded us of the importance “to unite as the people of Hawai‘i and
to recognize the leadership our Ali‘i gave us as Christians.” We celebrate nine Ali‘i Sundays which are
held as part of a larger series of celebrations recognized by the Benevolent Royal Societies, Ali‘i Trusts and
the Hawaiian Civic Clubs of which always occurs on Sundays or the Sunday just before the birthday of the
Ali‘i. Join us as we celebrate these Ali‘i and the many blessings from Ke Akua together.
