WELCOME

Let us try and model the compassion of Christ


At time of writing (25 September 2020)  we are at Alert level 2 until at least Wednesday 07 October. The Government will announce on Monday 05 October if we can move here in Auckland to Alert Level 1 like the rest of New Zealand.

     Our Church is now OPEN all day every day for prayer and for weekday and Sunday Masses.   Our normal weekday Mass timetable is Monday—Friday at 9.15am (plus 6.00am Mass on Wednesdays) and on Saturday at 8.00am.
     Our Sunday Mass timetable is back to normal (with the exception of Beachlands — NO Mass there until we return to Alert level 1 because the current venue does not allow for social distancing), which means we have Sunday Mass beginning on
 Saturday at 6.30pm, then on Sunday itself at 8.00am, 9.30am, and 5.30pm.   While we are still in Alert Level 2 we are permitted up to 100 people at each Mass and when we move to Level 1 there will be no restrictions.
     For those of you unable to come to Sunday Mass the Diocese does provide a televised Mass on SHINE TV (Channel 25 on Free-to-Air or Channel 201 on SKY) every Sunday at 2.00 pm.
     Let us pray also for our beautiful country as we prepare for the General Election on 17th October.  We have before us the beautiful plan God has for each of us.  Say "No" to the legalising and normalising of Cannabis and Euthanasia.   This "No" is really a great "YES!" to the Lord of life who sent his Son into the world — this Jesus said to us all — "I have come that you might have life, and have it to the full!" (Gospel of St John, Chapter 10, verse 10).
     It is wonderful our Church is open again for private prayer and Mass and our hearts are also wide open  in loving prayer and support for you in all your needs.  God bless you and your family.  God bless you and your family.
