What's Going on at St. Anthony's Church

You are invited to join us for Mass

We are grateful for the blessing of celebrating Mass together as a parish ohana and we ask for your cooperation, patience, and understanding as we adjust to the changing COVID-19 guidelines.

Just a few friendly reminders:

Please wear a face covering when you are inside the church and when you are in close proximity to others outside. At the Sign of Peace, simply bow to those around you without physical contact. During the communion Procession, please make sure your face mask is covering your nose and your mouth. Holy Communion will be placed in your hand for the safety of the assembly and the church's ministers. Then take a few steps away from the minister, lower your mask, and consume the host. Offertory boxes are placed throughout the church for your donations and are not passed among parishioners at this time. If all the seats in the main church are filled, overflow seating is available on the lanai.

These small steps will go a long way to limit the spread of COVID-19 when we gather as a parish community.

Mahalo nui loa for your kokua.

Please take a few minutes to listen to Bishop Larry Silva's message as well as some helpful information from the Diocese of Honolulu to help you prepare to attend Mass during the ongoing pandemic.
