From late August, the Parish of Wellington South was pleased to make available the Hall facilities at St Francis de Sales as a community vaccination centre in Island Bay. Each day, members of the public who had registered for a vaccine appointment, were welcomed into the newly refurbished hall for their inoculation to be administered. The parish was delighted the refurbishment of the St Francis de Sales facilities, completed last summer, meant the church’s ‘beacon of hope’ bell tower could be a focus for the community as part of this contribution to the government’s Covid-19 response.
