Welcome to St.Augustine by-the-Sea Roman Catholic Church. Our church has been an integral part of Waikiki since 1854. Named for the great doctor of the church St.Augustine of Hippo, our parish has been staffed by the servant leadership of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SS.CC.) since its humble beginning in a small temporary chapel on what is now Kalakaua Avenue.

Today, St.Augustine Church, with its neo-Gothic architecture and sweeping stained glass windows, is a striking part of the Waikiki skyline, and its parishioners and staff a vital part of the surrounding community. For almost 155 years (2009), this parish has ministered to the spiritual and temporal needs of its parishioners, the residents of Waikiki and visitors to our shores.

We invite you to join with us in worship and ministry, whether you are member of our Hawai'i 'ohana or a visitor.

All are welcome. Together, let us proclaim the redeeming love of Jesus Christ and practice that faith in a ministry of charity and love.

Me ke aloha pumehana,

Rev. Lane K. Akiona, ss.cc.
