Spring time at St Mary’s Upokongaro: an absolute treat. Lovey flowers in bloom, a mature garden surrounding the church and the all the paint and gear you’d need to repaint close by, evidence the building is still well loved and looked after. Nestled in next to a little primary school, not far from Whanganui proper. It’s easy to imagine why you’d try to make a small settlement here next to the Whanganui river. It’s picturesque.
Beautiful historic Church with services . Every 2nd Sunday of month. 11am...2020 Floral Art Group Whanganui Heritage month...really enjoyed the flower displays.. beautiful. ..

5 years agoBeautiful old church. Be sure to have a good look around inside and at the stained glass windows.
