Monday, 6th February is our national day commemorating the first signings of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, in 1840.

"Because of the Christian involvement in its signing and the Church’s mission to bring about a better world we can mark Waitangi as a significant spiritual event and a time to pray for the land and its peoples. We can give thanks for the gift of being here, ask forgiveness for the wrongs of our history from which some have benefitted and some have lost, and re-commit ourselves to work for a more just society."

Monsignor Gerard Burns' homily - Waitangi Day 2019
