Pleroma Christian Supplies and Pleroma Social Services are now working from purpose-built premises.
It is the first time in nearly 40 years, both trusts have enjoyed tailor-made facilities.
Kopua Abbot, Brian Keogh and kaumatua Rev John Flavell blessed the new building on 1 April.
Abbot Brian spoke of the meaning of “Pleroma”. He stressed the implications of fulness, brimming over and the absolute generosity of God.
In a statement to CathNews, Pleroma Christian Supplies Co-founder Shirley Duthie stresses Pleroma’s mission to provide those in the front line with the tools for evangelisation.
She said Pleroma’s achievements are the result of “great ecumenical support”.
Pleroma Christian Supplies is now New Zealand’s major distributor and retailer of Catholic supplies.
Pleroma’s other outreach, Pleroma Social Services, offers social work, counselling, stopping violence programmes, spiritual direction and supervision.
Shirley Duthie remembers vividly the night a young pregnant woman was found almost frozen in a car. Brought to Pleroma House to thaw and heal the woman eventually gave birth to a healthy child.
Reflecting on Pleroma’s journey, Shirley Duthie said: “There have been many miracles of provision, those strange God-incidences that build faith and on occasions are breath-taking in their audacity”.
