About Catholic Diocese-Leeward
The Catholic Diocese of Honolulu serves over 200,000 faithful across six Hawaiian islands through 66 parishes and 28 mission churches, continuing a legacy of faith that began when missionaries brought Catholicism to Hawaii in 1827. Established in 1941, the diocese operates under the pastoral vision of "Witness to Jesus," emphasizing that Christ remains alive and active in the community today. Following the example of Saints Damien and Marianne, the diocese reaches out to all people regardless of their circumstances through parishes, schools, social services, and healthcare ministries. Under the leadership of Bishop Larry Silva since 2005, the diocese engages Hawaii's Catholics in a faith journey focused on stewardship, liturgical renewal, and ethnic ministry to the islands' diverse populations. The diocese welcomes visitors to experience its unique island communities and invites all to discover the love of Jesus Christ through their parishes and ministries.
