Gemma Vailahi and Albert Le Reh, representing the Holy Family Porirua Youth Ministry, were honoured by the award of Runner Up in the Education and Child/Youth Development category of the Regional Community Awards. Anita Baker, the Mayor of Porirua, and Jo Maxwell, Wellington Airport Manager, presented the award at the Porirua Ceremony on 22 July.
The award acknowledges the work done by the Youth Ministry to provide a welcoming and safe space for young people aged 13 to their 20s to come together, build meaningful relationships, and grow in their faith. By learning together and forming strong bonds, young people are empowered to take what they gain at Holy Family, and positively impact the wider world.
Well done!
