2 years agoOne of the seven Catholic Churches we visited during Holy Week 2023 nice and quiet place. Filipinos would always be part of Catholic family anywhere in New Zealand. Prominent chunk of the community. Love and proud to be Pinoy. They started the seven last words and everyone was attentive.

a year agoVery solemn place for quiet time and prayers at the heart of Parnell. They have 7am Sunday mass, which for early birds like me comes in handy.
