Futuna Chapel reopening

The Futuna Chapel in Karori has reopened.

The Futuna Chapel in Karori has reopened!

It was a busy day on Saturday, March 21 as the chapel reopened. There was a morning blessing, followed by a Mass celebrated by Msgr. Gerry Burns. Then later came an official unveiling from Wellington Mayor Andrew Little.

The Futuna Chapel first opened in 1961, and is a Heritage New Zealand Category 1 historic place.

The reopening was a long journey, and would not have been possible without a great number of dedicated supporters. Thanks also to everyone who came, and made the day possible.

The chapel is open to visitors on the first Sunday of every month between 11am and 3pm. It is located at 67 Futuna Close, Karori, Wellington 6012.

Parking is available on Friend Street, or take a Number 2 bus to Karori from the city.

The chapel is also open for viewings this Easter (5 April), from 11am to 3pm.
