Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace

The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, dedicated on August 15, 1843, is the oldest Cathedral in continuous use as a cathedral in the United States and is the Mother Church of the Catholic Faithful in Hawaii. The Cathedral Basilica is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is home to a first-class relic of St. Damien of Molokai and the full mortal remains of St. Marianne of Molokai. It also houses the oldest operating tower clock and one of the oldest pipe organs in Hawaii, and has a memorial of the first Kiawe (Algaroba) tree in the islands which stood on the church campus. Many come to the Cathedral Basilica for peace, serenity, and most importantly as a place to connect with God.
