In the early 1980's, this mission parish was later re-[[consecrate|consecrated]] under the heavenly protection of the [[Mother of God]] and is now known as the Holy [[Theotokos]] of [[Iveron]] Russian Orthodox Church. In the late 1990s, the current pastor of the [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] community, Father Anatole Lyovin was [[ordination|ordained]] to serve the Orthodox faithful in Hawaii. Currently there are plans to build the first [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] [[church]] in Honolulu.
Fr. Anatole also oversees the Russian Orthodox mission communities on Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. The Russian Orthodox Church in Hawaii is under the spiritual care of Archbishop [[Kyrill (Dmitrieff)|+KYRILL of San Francisco]], the current successor of [[Tikhon (Troitsky) of San Francisco|Archbishop +TIKHON of San Francisco]] ''of blessed memory.'' Archbishop +TIKHON was Archbishop of San Francisco when Fr. Innokenty Dronov oversaw the Russian Orthodox Church in Hawaii in the 1940s.
