We are the Catholic community of the lower North and upper South Islands of Aotearoa New Zealand, following Jesus Christ by celebrating and sharing faith, growing in community, caring for our common home, and working for justice and peace
As 2026 gets underway, Archbishop Paul reminds us that this is also a special Jubilee Year of Saint Francis of Assisi. He also encourages us to get involved in parish life, study scripture – and that everyone’s welcome at Mass.
