Tēnā koutou katoa ~ We Welcome You.


A message from our Dean :

Ngā mihi o te Tau Hou ki a koutou katoa - wishing you all a very Happy New Year.

During January, our pattern of daily prayer continues, at 8.30am, Midday and 5.30pm daily - our midweek Communion Services are on Tuesdays at 7am and Wednesdays at 10am.

Our Sunday Services are :

8am Holy Communion

10am Parish Communion

5pm Quiet Evening Service

 

Our ministry team is here to welcome you, to walk alongside you, and to pray with you. Do not hesitate to get in touch.

 

I am delighted to share the news that, through the grace of God, a Youth Ministry Enabler has been appointed to serve at Taranaki Cathedral and for the Taranaki Bishopric. Karen Teo - who has experience as a social worker, in youth ministry, and is a person of prayer and faith - has accepted a calling to this new role. We are very thankful to God for Karen's appointment - and look forward to her joining our team during January. Please follow this link for more information.

 

With aroha,

Jamie
