Portuguese Catholic Churches of Hawaii
by Melody Lassalle
This is a brief list of the Catholic Churches designated whose members was primarily from the Portuguese ethnic group. Other churches also have Portuguese members, however, the membership in these churches was mainly Portuguese. These would be good places to start searches for your ancestors if you're unsure which church they belong to.
There are most likely more churches to add to this list. If you know of a Catholic church that served the Portuguese community specifically, contact us: Email IslandRoutes
