WelCom October 2020
Humbled by the generosity, encouragement and prayers of their many supporters, in what has been a tough year for everyone, Caritas’ director and staff are taking to the road this month to visit and thank communities in and around Palmerston North, Hastings and Napier.
This will be the first in a series of Caritas roadshows visiting communities throughout the country, to acknowledge in person the generous support Caritas has been receiving from so many.
Caritas plans to visit communities in the Archdiocese of Wellington next year.
You are invited to meet and join the Caritas team after the 5.30pm Vigil Mass at St Patrick’s Church in Napier, on Saturday 14 November and after the 9am Mass at St Peter Chanel Church in Hastings, on Sunday 15 November.
The following weekend Caritas will be visiting the Palmerston North area. You are invited to join the team after the Vigil Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Saturday 21 November at 5.30pm, and at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit on Sunday 22 November following the 9.30am Mass.
Please contact Amanda Gregan at amandag@caritas.org.nz or Joanna Viernes at joannav@caritas.org.nz for more information.
