Week 3: 30th October - 3 November

This year marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation when Martin Luther nailed 95 Theses on the church door in Wittenburg. The Catholic Diocese of Christchurch invites to gather with other Christian churches from different histories and traditions to pray for the unity of the church. An ecumenical service is being held on Tuesday 31st October at 7:00pm at Knox Church, corner of Bealey Ave and Victoria St.


Week 4: 6 November - 10th November

The events that occurred at Parihaka in the 1870s and 1880s is an important part of our history. Tohu and Te Whiti echo the beatitudes teaching of peacemaking. On 5th November let us remember this part of our own history, a great example of the virtue of trust in the providence of God.
