In Hawaii, the Church is organized under dioceses that oversee parishes, schools, and church leadership throughout the islands. Survivors of clergy abuse often need to identify the specific diocese responsible for a priest, parish, or school where abuse occurred. Because dioceses handle clergy assignments, records, and internal investigations, understanding which diocese had authority at the time of abuse can be an important step in seeking accountability and answers.

This page provides information and resources related to each diocese so survivors, families, and advocates can better understand church structure, reporting options, and available legal rights.
