Built in 1846, Maria Lanakila Catholic Church was miraculously untouched by the wildfires that devastated the area.
The rest of the town of Lahaina surrounding the church was covered rubble.
“A def sign from God,” one TikTok user wrote after posting the footage, “he is with you. hold on and keep that faith. we are all praying for you.”
From The Gateway Pundit:
The Pillar spoke with Msgr. Terrence Watanabe, pastor of the nearby parish of St. Anthony’s Who shared,”Basically what we know is the fact that all of Lahaina Town has been consumed by fire. It’s all gone. The church, Maria Lanakila [Our Lady of Victory], is still standing, as is the rectory. The school’s been a little bit affected. They’re still not allowing people to drive into Lahaina. And then 36 people are dead, that they’ve reported, and about 271 facilities have been impacted, not to mention all the cars that are still on the streets, that also got burned.”
