Waitangi Day Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral

Friday, February 5th, 2016

St Mary of the Angels, Ngākau Tapu (personal parish to Māori) and Te Kainga Marae are hosting a Waitangi Day Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral on Saturday 6 February 2016 at 9am.

There is choir practice the night before at 7.30pm at Sacred Heart Cathedral.

It’s a great time, under the direction of Robert Oliver (St Mary of the Angels Music Director) to learn the Latin parts of the Mass and also to learn a sung version of the Our Father in te reo Māori.
