Here’s what's happening
After 9 years of enthusiastic, inspiring and faithful leadership as our Parish Priest, Monsignor Trevor has been given a new position as Chaplain at Waikato Hospital. We will miss him so much, and will keep him in our prayers. His last weekend with us is Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th July. Please bring a plate for farewell supper in Turangi and farewell morning tea in Taupō.
Let’s Raise the Roof
The re-roofing of the presbytery and garage has been deferred for over three years with repairs being undertaken as and when required. However, now is the time to replace the roofs completely. The cost is $30,000.
If you are in a position to support this project financial, please know that your donation will be greatly appreciated.
