→Rebirth of Orthodoxy
In subsequent years, the Russian Orthodox Church in Hawaii shipped or flew priests to Hawaii. [[Archimandrite]] Innokenty Dronov of Hilo, a contemporary of St. Jonah of Manchuria and St. [[John Maximovitch|John of Shanghai and San Francisco]], served the entire Orthodox Christian flock on all the Hawaiian Islands throughout 1930s and 1940s. Archimandrite Innokenty frequently returned to the [[diocese]] in San Francisco to report to Archbishop Tikhon and for medical reasons. He is now buried on the Big Island of Hawaii.
In the 1960s a Greek community established a Greek Orthodox Church, and soon thereafter the Serbian community established an Orthodox mission. The Serbian mission later fell apart joined the Greek and Russian Orthodox Church churches of Hawaii.
In the late 1990s, the current priest, Father Anatole Lyovin, one of the first Russian Orthodox priests since Archimandrite Innokenty, was [[ordination|ordained]] to serve the Orthodox faithful in Hawaii. Currently there are plans to built the first Russian Orthodox [[cathedral]] in Hawaii.
