Legacy and Faith Our Labor Missionaries

Join us on a captivating journey into the past as we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) through this exclusive video production. Created by the PCC, the video pays homage to the unsung heroes of the early labor missionary program, individuals whose dedication not only built the foundation of the Church College of Hawaii (now Brigham Young University) but also laid the groundwork for the beautiful Polynesian Cultural Center.

The Call to Labor: Witness the profound moment when these individuals received the call to embark on their labor mission in Hawaii.

Building the CCH and PCC: Dive into the construction phase, where these dedicated labor missionaries poured their sweat and soul into building both the Church College of Hawaii and the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Reflections and Advice: Hear firsthand the experiences, hopes, and invaluable advice these pioneers share for those currently working at the PCC.

Disclaimer: This video, produced by the Polynesian Cultural Center, is a testament to the rich history of labor missionaries, utilizing archival materials from BYUH archives, PCC archives, and two documentary videos produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Church News and a video posted on Hawaii's YouTube Channel by Gary Smith. We express our gratitude for their contributions in preserving and sharing this legacy.
