Bishop splits Leeward Oahu Vicariate
Starting July 1, the Diocese of Honolulu will have a new vicariate when the Leeward Oahu Vicariate is split in two into the Leeward Oahu and Central Oahu vicariates. Each division will encompass six parishes.
In announcing the change, Bishop Larry Silva said that Leeward Oahu is the largest vicariate and “continues to experience rapid population growth.” He added that the vicars throughout the diocese advised that it would be “pastorally expedient” to divide the vicariate.
The decision brings the number of Hawaii vicariates — geographical groupings of parishes overseen by one of its pastors called a “vicar forane” — to nine.
The new Central Oahu Vicariate will include the parishes of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Pearl City; Our Lady of Sorrows in Wahiawa; Resurrection of the Lord in Waipio; St. Elizabeth in Aiea; St. John the Apostle and Evangelist in Mililani; and St. Michael in Waialua and its Sts. Peter and Paul Mission at Waimea Bay.
