Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases on Hawaii Island, Hilo Betsuin's Sunday Services are cancelled until further notice, effective Sunday, August 23, 2020.

We apologize for the short notice. Please understand that the health and safety of our members and community is our priority.

We will be sharing information on online services and dharma messages that can be attended virtually from the safety and comfort of your home.

Please continue to do your part for the health and safety of yourself and others by washing your hands, wearing your mask, and maintaining physical distance. We are all in this together!

The office and Nokotsudo (columbarium) will remain open on Sundays from 8:30am-12pm.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding during this difficult time. Please stay safe & healthy!
