Due to the ongoing Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, Bishop Larry Silva extends the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass to all the people of the Diocese of Honolulu and all visitors to the Diocese of Honolulu through August 31, 2020. All who are able to attend Sunday Mass without putting themselves or others at serious risk of infection are encouraged to do so, but are not obliged to do so.
We are most grateful to our parishioners who make your tithes and offerings online. It's safe, easy and secure. You can make your offering at any time or set up an automatic gift.

Our parish is in need of volunteers in three areas necessary for the good health and life of our parish community. If you can assist in any of these three areas, please contact the parish office at
487-2414 x31:
1. Medical professionals ... assist with taking blood pressures on Aloha Sunday mornings and perhaps medical emergencies when you are on our parish campus (for example, during Mass);
2. Building and Maintenance Committee ... help us insure that our parish facilities are in good working order and identify needs. Experience in any construction area preferred (carpentry, painting, electrical, etc.) This Committee meets quarterly.
3.
Emergency Planning Committee ... help us in the event of any natural or man-made emergency that might occur on our parish campus. Any interested parishioner may volunteer but first responder experience would be most beneficial (active or retired police, fire personnel, etc).
Please immediately DELETE any emails or texts you might receive from Father Arnold or Father Romple asking for favors. If you are not certain, call the parish office to verify. Mahalo. Read more.
