Good Samaritan Episcopal Church

About this church

Good Samaritan Episcopal Church is a Palolo Valley parish that began in 1931 as Oahu’s second Japanese-language Episcopal mission and grew into a multicultural community church. Worship, women’s ministry, youth service, community mission, pastoral care, and baptismal preparation carry that history forward. The parish welcomes baptized Christians to receive Communion and offers an online option for people who are ill or vulnerable.

Sunday Holy Eucharist begins at 9:30 a.m. in person. Members receive a Zoom link by email, and the link is also distributed through the church’s readings and announcements area. Single-use service booklets are provided according to the published worship guidance. Youth are invited into mission work, service to the wider community, support of church ministries, and constructive social activities; current dates come through leaders rather than a standing weekly hour. Recent sermons, readings, and bulletins allow newcomers to become familiar with the Episcopal service before attending. The church asks people who feel sick to worship online and contact the parish when support is needed.
