For kids

Your kids get to enjoy an exciting space just for them! Every Sunday, children from 6 weeks-5th grade get to encounter Jesus through music, dance, crafts, and Bible lessons in a colorful and safe environment.

Check-in: Stop by the Kids info desk in the East Lobby on your first visit. If you want to save time before you arrive, fill out our new family form so we can be ready to check in your children faster.

On Sunday mornings, you’ll often find teenagers attending Mass with their families and/or serving in our various ministries throughout the campus. Later in the day we have programs designed specifically for them, which include fun, fellowship, worship and a relevant message just for them.

Resurrection is our program for middle schoolers on Sunday nights after our 5:30 PM mass at 6:30.

Uprising is our program for high schoolers that takes place Sunday afternoon’s at 4:00.

Frequently asked questions

Who we are

We are a Catholic Parish run by the Community of St John in the Diocese of Christchurch and we envision a Catholic Parish where fellowship with Christ and one another brings us such joy it's contagious. Therefore, growing in friendship with Christ, thousands find their place in Him and His mission and are equipped to transform the world.

Through the sacraments, service and study we grow spiritually so that our prayer might resonate into our whole life and the lives of others.

Find your faith

Life is a process of constant growth.  This journey implies that we are constantly learning, sometimes struggling, there are joys and there are many other milestones that we all go through.  The first thing though that we all need to grasp is why be a Catholic, so that we can know where we are going.
