Parish Christmas Party 2020
Words of Thanks!
On Behalf of the Leadership Team, we would like to thank the whole whanau for supporting the Parish Christmas party. We enjoyed, we sang, and we shared the Christmas Spirit. What a joy to witness a community living the spirit of oneness in God. We would also like to thank the whole community for supporting the Fundraising for Typhoon victims in the Philippines. We were able to raise a total of $5,150. This money will be sent to the Parish of Bato to help the parishioners to stand again.
Thank you so much!

Suzanne Aubert Scout Group
Covid 19 not withstanding, there have been some great opportunities for our Parish Scout Group this year. During Lockdown we continued to hold meetings via Zoom and our first Kea Group joined us during an on line Scout night. Since lockdown we have been tramping in the Tararuas to Cone Hut and our youth leaders have completed both the Sandford Leadership course and the Cossgrove outdoor skills course. This term we have a full programme, including a Group camp at the Home of Compassion. We now offer Scouting for youth aged 5 to 15 years old. Over the next twelve months we hope to be able to create a Venturer Section for 15 – 18 year olds. Meetings are Monday nights 6.30pm to 8pm at St Anne’s Hall. Come along and check us out, new members are always welcome. Or if you are interested in finding out more about our Parish Scout Group contact Rob McCullough on suzanneaubert@group.scouts.nz
