The priest at the Cathedral of St. Andrew’s sent a message to parishoners that the toddler who perished in Wednesday’s fatal fire was baptized at the Episcopal church in March.

Nine-month-old Sophie Wharton and her mother Connie Moribe Wharton did not survive a fire at the family’s Kaimuki home, where flames quickly engulfed the home. Connie Wharton’s body was found in the carport of the Luakaha Street house, and the child was found dead in the living room. Honolulu Police Lt. Nathan Wharton, the husband and father of the victims, was not home at the time of the fire.

The Rev. Moki Hino said they were the daughter and granddaughter of church members Glen and Sandy Moribe.

“I have a simple request, that upon receiving this message, will you please stop for a moment, say a prayer for Sophia and Connie, and send warm thoughts for peace to Sandy, Glenn, and their son-in-law Nathan,” Hino said in his message.

The priest said he had spent Wednesday evening with the family.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
