Diocesan-wide Planned Giving Campaign
We have produced a series of three brief videos from Bishop Michael encouraging us to consider how we can support or parish with financial giving. It is never easy to ask for money but it is a reality of keeping our parishes alive and serving our people. In these brief video messages Bishop Michael explains the money needed to support our priests and parish staff and the financial situation of the diocese. Thank you for taking the time to watch these videos and to consider what you may be able to give.
Join us for the Youth 2000 Dunedin 2024 Retreat. A weekend filled with spiritual growth, impactful workshops, and a community of fellow believers for those aged 18-35. Dive deep into your faith with Mass, Adoration, and vibrant praise and worship sessions. 🙏✨
Catholic Church thanks Royal Commissioners for their final report
'The Catholic bishops and congregational leaders in Aotearoa New Zealand have received a copy of the Inquiry’s Final Report and will now read and review it carefully. As we have done throughout the length of the Inquiry, we will ensure that action follows our review of the Inquiry’s findings. We understand that within the community, some of us - including leaders in the Catholic Church - have a special role to play to ensure that the findings and recommendations of this significant Inquiry are not lost or confined to words in a report. We commit to that role.' Read more here.
