We are a vibrant, multicultural Catholic parish in the heart of Rotorua, walking together in faith and service. Our patron saint, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, inspires us to love generously, live simply, and lead with courage — especially among the poor, the forgotten, and those on the margins.

🌿 Our Mission

To be a welcoming and spirit-filled community of disciples, living the Gospel and building up the Kingdom of God.

🌺 Our Values

• Love – Aroha : We reach out with compassion, just as Christ did.

• Live – Ora : We grow together in faith, prayer, and daily life.
