God's love is sacrificial and reaches out to bless, to heal and to restore what was lost. We seek to do likewise, loving God, by loving our neighbours who bear God's image. Here are some of the ways we do this:

Friday Cafe

Each Friday morning, from 10am-11:30am, our doors are open to our neighbours for a hot drink, morning tea and conversation. This is run by our Retirees Coffee Club members, and welcomes in particular, many of our neighbours from IDEA Services homes.

mainly music

mainly music is a morning of music, movement and connection for pre-schoolers, their parents and care-givers. It takes place Wednesday mornings during term time, from 9.30-11am, at St George's Hall, 44 Ferry St, Seatoun. Each session involves 30 minutes of music, song and movement, and then an hour of free play time for kids, and a morning tea and chance for the adults to connect. Cost is $4 per child or $5 for a family. 

Refugee Resettlement

Throughout the year, the New Zealand Red Cross brings former refugee families into the Wellington and Manawatu regions, and together with the Catholic Archdiocese of Wellington, our diocese supports the collection of household items and the set up of houses where the families will live – so that when they arrive, they immediately feel welcomed and at home. Our parish is actively involved in this endeavour. 

​

Rest Home Visits

We hold monthly communion services for the residents of Rita Angus Retirement Home. A highlight each year is the Christmas Carols service.

Anglican Missions Board

Each year we give generously to the Anglican Missions Board, supporting their work to share in the global dimension to Christ's mission of proclaiming the Gospel, nurturing believers, responding to human need, transforming society, and caring for creation. ​

Ladies' Guild

Our Ladies' Guild raises money for local charities through the knitting of baby clothes, which are sold through Shop 89. 

Shop 89

Shop 89 is an op shop with a difference. More than a great place to find quality, pre-loved items, it is community hub and a distribution outlet for the Eastern Suburbs Fruit & Vege Co-op. Proceeds from the shop go toward ministries of justice and mercy, and support the work of the Peninsula Parish. 

For opening hours and more details, go to the Shop 89 page.

"If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
    with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
    and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,."
  

- Isaiah 58:9b-10
