Decree Promulgating Parish Boundaries
Whereas throughout the world the Latin Church, in accord with ancient Roman law, is divided into territorial areas which are governed by a diocesan bishop or an equivalent in law (Code of Canon Law, canon 372 §1);
Whereas dioceses too are divided into distinct parts called “parishes,” which are ordinarily territorial in nature (canons 374 §1; 518);
Whereas the territorial boundaries of parishes in the Diocese of Honolulu have not been examined in some decades;
Whereas many factors related to population changes and growth have taken place during the course of those years, making the reexamination of boundaries apropos at this time;
Having consulted the Presbyteral Council in accord with canon 515 §2, I hereby define the canonical boundaries of all parishes of the diocese in accord with this attached Parish Map Book and current link https://www.hhf.com/parish-boundary (password is “parish”), which form an integral part of this decree.
These boundaries take effect on January 1, 2026.
Given at the Office of the Bishop in Honolulu, Hawaii, on the first day of December, 2025.
