Hawaii Betsuin, including the Columbarium, will be closed on September 11 and 12, 2023.

The closure is a precaution following two identified cases of COVID among ministers and staff on the temple side of Pali Highway, and one more with symptoms. Arrangements are being made in the event ministerial services required in an urgent situation.

The Sunday services on September 10 were also cancelled. Apologies to anyone who came to the temple for a Sunday service or tried to join via Zoom. Causes and conditions did not allow for a more timely posting of this notice in our online channels.

Thank you for understanding as the temple takes steps to prevent additional transmission of COVID on campus.
