Messages from Fr. Simon

Karere mai a Matua Haimona

Dear Parishioners,

Dear Parish,

Welcome back to Mass in Level 1! Cardinal John Dew has asked us to still adhere to some restrictions.

Our Mass timetable has returned to normal. Our Lady Help of Christians is open and the new foyer is warm and inviting.

The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated on 16 August, 9am at St Joseph’s. We have 55 young people registered so far. Adults who never got around to being Confirmed when they were younger are most welcome to register to be Confirmed with our young people on 16 August.

We are already halfway through the year. It is great to see everyone again.

God Bless you all,
Fr Simon
