Dear Faithful Friends of Saints Peter and Paul,
We thank all for their faithful and generous support of Saints Peter and Paul Church and want to take this opportunity to inform you of the Church’s plan to acquire the property at 771 Amana Street. Through prayer and discernment, and with the guidance and support of His Excellency Larry Silva and our Diocesan staff, we are moving closer to our desire to acquire the neighboring property, an opportunity to expand faith formation and serve our growing parish.
Saints Peter and Paul has therefore embarked on a capital campaign to raise $3.25 million to help finance the purchase. The Quiet Phase of the campaign was launched in August 2019 to secure leadership and major gifts needed to confirm with His Excellency that we will be successful in raising the required funds.
Now, the church is making this appeal to all members, inviting all to make a generous gift to support the campaign. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our parish – one we should support with heartfelt commitment.
For half a century, Saints Peter and Paul has provided a firm foundation in our community, building a faithful community of believers. The vision, set in place decades earlier by Bishop Scanlan, was accomplished with faith, prayer and the hard work of many parishioners. As Bishop Scanlan stated at the Church’s dedication 50 year’s ago – “As Ala Moana is the heart of the new Honolulu, so Saints Peter and Paul is its soul.”
With blessings,
Fr. Khanh
Acquisition of the property presents many possibilities for Saints Peter and Paul Church and the community. Plans will likely call for the building to house church programs combined with leased space for community support programs and businesses.

God, our Father in heaven and Creator of all,
With grateful hearts for all you have bestowed on our ‘Ohana at Saints Peter and Paul in these last 50 years,
and with great anticipation for what is yet to be, we turn to You, O Lord, as our ancestors did.
Bless us anew with a caring heart, and a willing spirit to build upon the legacy of those who have come
and gone from us over the years, and continue being “soul of the new Honolulu.”
As You have been the source of our being, and our strength in the past, now we ask You to secure our future,
that we each will be able to make sacrifices necessary so to grow as a caring parish family.
May we remain one in You and may this campaign be a blessing to all of our Parishioners, Visitors and Friends,
and shaping our future for generations to come.
We pray with the help of Saints Peter and Paul, Saint Damien and Saint Marianne,
and the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and Saint Joseph, patron of the Universal Church.
Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
