👍👍 One 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. People often mention church,

    A great little Parish in the middle of Parnell. Parking is sufficient and after Mass there’s lots of places to eat

    Nice place for a quick prayer. The parish community seems to be taking care of it. Would be nice to join for those living in that area.

    Though mass was completed by the time I arrived, it was still nice coming in to spend some quiet time in reflection and whispers to the Almighty.

    Went for a walk around when our plane landed and saw there was mass starting so we popped on and went to mass right after arriving.

    I think it is about time that this church at Parnell got a new make over .It is so boring , cold on cold days freezing in fact . A camper van park that ran it business like this church would have no customers .I get tired of camper van travellers that I referr to this particular church saying how boring and how unsocial it is .I spent most of my young life serving the church at least we had a chat and a meeting after the service ,at least we we talked to like adults not as some kind of donation carrying servants who came on Sunday morning and believe it or not they do not even acknowledge people who have died even long term customers no even long term organists . I get tired of my catholic customers feed back from this church .If they spend thousands on advertising for customers they should look after the ones that they have got .I rate this church as a zero .Please publish to the world .

    Very 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.

    Beautiful! Possibly the oldest Catholic Church in New Zealand. It’s small and a classic colonial building. The services are enjoyable.
