OCTOBER 11, 2013 • HAWAII CATHOLIC HERALD HAWAII 3 Participating in a ‘miracle’ The students at St. Catherine School, Kapaa, offer prayers and a dying baby in Miami makes an astonishing recovery By Darlene J.M. Dela Cruz Hawaii Catholic Herald “To the students at St. Cath- erine School … you were part of a miracle.” A frame bearing this message of gratitude was sent recently to the small Kauai Catholic school by Meghan and Jared Kuhn. The Florida couple has never vis- ited the Kapaa grade school, but they believe the schoolchildren’s prayers over the last several months helped them overcome one of the toughest challenges of their lives.
