WelCom October 2024
Hosted by the Catholic Parish of New Plymouth at St Joseph’s and in partnership with the Diocese of Palmerston North and Divine Renovation, ‘Open House’ is designed to share with other parishes the missional parish journey the parish is on. Some 220 to 250 attendees are expected from our diocese and from around the country. Bishop John has already booked a bus to bring 40 people from Palmerston North. Mass on Friday at 5.30pm will be celebrated by Bishop John followed by his keynote talk. Dinner in the hall will follow. Saturday morning will have a keynote talk by Mons Trevor Murray, and breakout sessions with ministry leaders. Morning tea and lunch are provided. The afternoon finishes with prayer and sending forth in the Holy Spirit led by Bishop Michael Gielen. Parishioners are all invited but full registration ($85.00) is necessary, and parishioners can attend the keynote talks in St Joseph’s Church.
