Description

Denomination: Roman Catholic (Catholic)

St. Augustine by-the-sea Church has ministered to Catholics in Waikiki – residents and visitors – since 1854.

Its history began not long after the first Catholic missionaries, priests of the Congregation of Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, arrived on our shores.

Founded in 1854, it was the third parish church established in the fledgling Hawaii Catholic Church, which was beginning to grow after a period of persecution in the 1830s.

Today, a modern beacon in Waikiki with its striking neo-Gothic architecture and its dramatic stained glass, St. Augustine’s beginnings were modest indeed.
