The film is a box office success in New Zealand, praised for its heartwarming story and performances.

Scripture Reflection (held every Tuesday evening from 6 pm until 6.45 pm in the Parish Office).
The Gospel scripture for the coming Sunday is read and discussed within a small group. Everyone gets the opportunity to express their views no matter what level of knowledge of the Liturgies. The discussion is deemed to be very beneficial in providing background to the Gospel when it is read in the next Saturday and Sunday’s Masses.

Last December 25 parishioners gathered for Cake, Coffee and Chat – the idea to reconnect with fellow parishioners.
Feed back was “let’s do this again and soon” no formality – gathering in a relaxed atmostphere, the Cathedral Foyer.
An easy date to remember – the first Friday morning of the month 10.30pm – 12.m.d. do come and meet one another – no need to respond- we will post a reminder each month in the Cathedral Connection – if you are free come and say ‘hello’.
All parishioners are very welcome, the more the ‘chattier’. If you would like to note the first Friday dates they are below.
7 February, 7 March, 4 April, 2 May, 6 June, 4 July, 1 August, 5 September, 3 October, 7 November, 5 December.

Parishes and parish schools play significant roles in the Church’s mission ofevangelisation. Yet in practice, their relationship with one another is complex and frequently misunderstood or undervalued. In Aotearoa New Zealand, this relationshipis further shaped by a Catholic education system that is globally unique, presentingboth distinct challenges and opportunities. Colin MacLeod will initially share findingsfrom his doctoral research, alongside insights from his experience as a Catholiceducator and Director of the National Centre for Religious Studies (NCRS). The secondsession, after morning tea, will develop a practical overview of governance, leadership, Religious Education, and the school preference system.
We meet on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month in Connolly Hall from 7.00pm to 8.30pm.
All are welcome. For prayer requests and enquiries, please email [email protected]
