Reverend
Mrs. Alice Rosehill Kahokuoluna "Mother Alice"
Hawaii's
first woman minister
The Hawaiian word for minister is "Kahu" and over time people came
to call her Mother Alice, a lot easier than, " The Reverend Mrs. Alice Rosehill Kahokuoluna" or even, " Kahu Kahokuoluna."
The C. Tolpo Portrait of Hawaii's first woman minister is
displayed in the church "Mother Alice" community room next to the church. (Back to Portraits)
