WelCom August 2022

The archdiocesan Catholic Centre on Hill St, Thorndon, was closed earlier this year due to seismic assessments. After further engineering reports, it has been decided to permanently close the premises and the adjacent Viard House and redevelop the site. This major project is expected to take up to four years.

Staff from the centre – including archdiocese ministries, Caritas, NZ Catholic Education Office, NZCBC, Catholic Enquiry Centre, National Liturgy Office and others – have been working from temporary premises, since the building’s closure.

New temporary office accommodation has been confirmed in Thorndon Quay for the duration of the re-development project and will be available for the various staff from this month. 

When completed, the new Hill St premises will include permanent office accommodation.
