We welcome you to be a part of our fellowship where you can nurture your spiritual journey among a supportive group of individuals

Who are we? What’s our vision? Need to contact someone on the team?

We are a Catholic Parish under the Bishop of Christchurch, run by the Brothers of St John. Recently, in order to better help all discover the beauty, goodness and truth of Jesus Christ, our Bishop joined three parishes together to create this new Parish, temporarily called 'Christchurch West'

Mass times

The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith. It is the sacrament that unites us with Christ and with one another.

Newsletter

West Parish Weekly is your source of information about the activities and news of our parish community. .

Baptising your Child

Baptism is a sacrament that unites us with Jesus Christ, the Son of God who died and rose for our salvation. 

Becoming catholic

Ever thought about joining the Catholic Faith? We'd love to journey with you as you make that decision to be received into the Catholic Faith.

YOUTH GROUP

Our youth groups are places where you can feel like you belong, while being in a safe and loving environment, and still explore those tough questions.

Supporting us with your time, talents, or treasures

It's often said that a parish is like a spiritual home, and just like our own homes, there are costs involved in keeping it running smoothly. These costs include power, supplies, cleaning products, and the day-to-day running of the parish.

By joining our planned giving program, you can help support the important work of our parish. We offer a variety of ways to give, so you can choose the option that best suits your needs.

If you're not able to contribute financially, there are still plenty of ways you can help support us. We welcome volunteers who are interested in getting involved in our different ministry groups. You can also offer your talents and skills to help serve our parish community. Whatever your interests and abilities may be, we would be grateful for your support.

Please contact us to discuss ways in which you can donate your time, or talent to serve our parish community.
