9 months agoThis is a wonderful Church all my friends go to it. It is so beautiful and quiet. The priests are the best and we've had a few. Most of them I've got to know pretty well. If you want to come to church to see us try on a Sunday morning when we have great music groups playing leading us in praise and worship. Father Craig and Father John are very down to earth people who love God and gently pray for us all pointing us in the right direction and they need prayers too. Maybe next time you see them you could place your hand on there head and ask the Holy Spirit to help them. God bless

a year agoSt Mary's building offers a warm and friendly environment, particularly for creating relationships. This is with people, God who created all things, and Jesus our Saviour who sets us free from the burdens of our sin. They lead us through some amazing experiences and journeys. And the priests are so full of wisdom and what everyday living is like. Do come.

2 years agoI attended the Māori Mass service delivered here at St Mary's Church alongside our multicultural Catholic community. The use of technology made for an inclusive and enjoyable experience by projecting prayer words and song lyrics for all to see and follow. The impromptu church band and Māori choir was the main highlight for me. I'll definitely be going back every month.

2 years agoLovely church. Colourful windows all around give this place a stunning look. Kneelers and benches laid out in a semicircular pattern bring the people together in prayer.
