4th Sunday of Lent
Catholic Parish of Napier Administration and Mission Centre
The detailed design of the new Parish Administration and Mission Centre is well
underway. It is expected to be completed in the next few weeks.
After Easter we will begin a fundraising campaign to secure the remaining
funding for the project. However, some parishioners have indicated they would
like to make contributions to the new building before 31 March so that they can
claim a tax refund for their donation in this tax year.
If you would like to make a donation to this project before 31 March you are able
to do so and obtain a receipt for tax purposes. Please contact Carmel at the Parish
Office for details.
Napier Inner City Churches (NICC)
During Lent we gather each Wednesday evening at 7:00pm with our Inner City
Covenant Churches for an ecumenical liturgy. Details as follows:
March 17th: St Thomas More Catholic Church
March 24th: St Paul’s Presbyterian Church
I hope that many parishioners will attend these liturgies in solidarity with our
fellow Christians in Napier.
Easter Timetable
The Easter timetable is included as an insert in the newsletter today. It will also
be available on the website and on the Parish ChurchApp. Please ensure that you
have the information readily available as we prepare for our Easter liturgies.
Rite of Election
The Rite of Election for the Adult Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) will be held
next Sunday at the 10am Mass. This important step for our catechumens and
candidates was scheduled to be held a couple of weeks ago but that was not
possible because of Level 2 restrictions.
