Have you ever wondered how a community can bring renewal to our parish? Come to know more about the importance of community as Christians.
God did not create us to live alone. No man is an island to himself. Without friends around us, especially brothers and sisters in the Lord, we become lonely and isolated. It doesn’t do us any good to go through life without a support system, and what better support system than the Body of Christ? There is something extraordinary about growing together in communion with one another. When God’s people are living in unity together, we grow closer to Jesus. And this might be one of the most beautiful things ever.
Come and join us to learn more about COMMUNITY in our third FORMATION NIGHT on Wednesday, 16 November 2022, from 7pm to 8pm at Connolly Hall. For more information, please get in touch with [email protected]
“The God of mercy; He does not tire of forgiving. We are the ones who tire in asking for forgiveness, but He does not tire,” – Pope Francis.
In “I confess,” we say, “We have sinned through our own fault, in our thoughts and in our words, in what we have done, and in what we have failed to do.” – Everyone sins! Our sins separated us from God and one another. As Catholics, we go to confession to say sorry for the wrong (sin) in our lives and to experience God’s healing through forgiveness. Jesus loves and is anxious to forgive us. Will we give Him that chance?
Join us to learn more about the SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION in our fourth FORMATION NIGHT on Wednesday, 7 December 2022, from 7 pm to 8 pm at Connolly Hall Chapel.

Parish Feast Day Mass and social gathering
An extra Mass to celebrate our parish feast day will be held in Connolly Hall Chapel at 5.30pm on Friday 16th June, followed by a time of fellowship in the Cathedral foyer. This is an opportunity to gather together to celebrate our patronal feast. Mulled wine and juice will be available. Please bring a plate of finger food to share.
We write to invite you and your family and friends to a special All Souls joint service between Metropolitan Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and Wellington Cathedral of St Paul.
The Choir of Wellington Cathedral of St Paul will be leading our sung worship, which will feature MIHA, a new setting of the Requiem Mass in Latin and Te Reo Māori by Auckland-based composer Takarei Komene.
During the service we will remember in prayer those who have died in the last year. Cards will be available for you to fill out the name of a loved one you would like to be read out during our prayers of remembrance. There will also be an opportunity to light a candle in remembrance of your loved one.
The service will last around 75 minutes, providing time and space for reflection, and seeks to bring comfort in offering God’s peace and the reassurance of our Christian faith and hope.
We do hope you will be able to attend and look forward to welcoming you.
This service is in addition to our regular Masses in our Connolly Hall Chapel which will be at 8.00am and 12.10pm on that day.
Family Advent Mass to be celebrated during our 10.30am Sunday Mass at St. Thomas More church on the 17th of December.
