Wings.Nga Parirua
the Catholic Faith Formation Programme. We all need to feel welcomed in our Church, to understand our faith and to recognise Jesus calling each of us into an intimate friendship with him.
The hospitality at the heart of “Wings” gives space and time for people to come together, to become familiar with Jesus’ teaching in the Gospels, and the Catholic Church’s response to this teaching in the light of the Resurrection; to walk by faith in loving communion with Jesus in prayer. Wings.Nga Parirau is open to all and could also be a welcoming place for those who have come through RCIA and Alpha to gather in communion with other parishioners.
Join us monthly from Saturday 5 September at Warkworth parish - 480 Matakana Rd Matakana 0985 – 4.00pm – 5:45pm. For more details contact Teresa Shaplesk [email protected] and Dianna Fouhy [email protected]
