Christopher’s 100th Organ Recital 

2021’s Organ Recital Series will begin with a special 1pm concert on Saturday 13th of February (not Thursday the 13th– which we published incorrectly the past couple of weeks) at the Interim Cathedral ($5 admission). The regular series will continue throughout the year on the third Thursday of every month at 12.15pm with admission being a gold coin donation. 

New Phone system 

Our new phone system has a recorded message that asks to press a key for the option you want. They are: Press 1 for the office, Press 2 for Stop In, Press 3 to talk to a priest (you don’t have to wait till the message is over before making your choice).  

Community Café 

The Community Café is on holiday until Tuesday, January 19th. Pop the date on your 2021 calendar and let us make breakfast for you! 

Candlemas  31 January 10am 

Along with Candlemas itself, we bless candles, our ministries for the year ahead, our youngsters as they prepare for a new school year – and each and every one of us! 

We continue our morning of blessings with a parish Picnic on Marsland Hill – Pūkākā. (weather permitting)
