Te Paariha o Rangiaowhia

Te Paariha o Rangiaowhia An Anglican Parish of Tikanga Maori. 87 Rangiaowhia Road, Te Awamutu. Our Pihopa is Ngarahu Katene. Te Atua Matua, te Atua Tama, me te Atua Wairua Tapu.

Mai te aranga o te raa ki te tihi o Tautari, ki te Rangikura o Puawhe ki te uru, Ko Rangiaowhia te Pito Wairua, ko Rangiaowhia te maara o ngaa hua o te Rangi. Te Paariha o Rangiaowhia lays it's foundations in the introduction of Te Rongopai to the various kainga between Maungatautari and Pirongia in the 1830's. From such times, the Gospel thrived amongst our people in which Tikanga Karakia were co

nducted, te Raatapu observed, and the manifestation of Ihu Karaiti in everyday life led to new ways of being. In 1852, Paora Tapu was constructed and opened in 1856 as a physical symbol of the Whakapono, especially for the people of Ngaati Apakura, Ngaati Hinetu, Ngaati Kauwhata, and the other iwi that lived at and around Rangiaowhia. For many years following 1864, after the decimation of Rangiaowhia and the ejection of its iwi, Paaora fell to loneliness and since, has been cared for by the Anglican Faithful of the colonial parish of Saint John's Te Awamutu. In 2019 under the leadership of Paa Cruz Pomare Karauti- Fox, a traditional Evensong from the 19th Century Raawiri began, reinvigorating the prayers of our tupuna who once lived at Rangiaowhia, and in particular Te Reo Maori within Paaora Tapu once again. Since then, Te Paariha o Rangiaowhia has been established as a formal Paariha of Te Hui Amornagi ki te Manawa o te Wheke, a Tikanga Maori episcopal unit of Te Haahi Mihingare ki Aotearoa Niu Tireni me te Moana Nui a Kiwa: The Anglican Church in Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia. Currently a monthly Tikanga Karakia o te Ahiahi: Evensong is held every 4th Sunday of the month at 5pm, followed by a kai at Hairini Hall. Te Koomiti Whakahaere o te paariha include:
Tiamana- Adam Hape
Hekeretari- Teresa Hansen
Kaitiaki Puutea- Pat Gage


We look forward to welcoming you to our home of Rangiaowhia as we give praise and thanksgiving to God. Kororia ki te Atua!

E te Kuia , e te rangatira , moe mai i roto i te rangimarie o te Hepara pai. Haere haere haere ki te ringaringa o te Karaiti.

He maimai aroha, he kura tangihia 🌱

E tangi ana a Ngāti Paretekawa i te rironga a te pou kuia, a Rovina Te Kawenata Maniapoto, ki te kāinga tūturu o te tangata. Ko te iere o tōna reo kua kapohia e nunui, e roroa mā.
In the quiet hours of Wednesday morning, our kuia, Rovina Te Kawenata Maniapoto, began her journey to reunite with our loved ones who have gone before her.
A devoted mother and Nana, sister and loved kuia of her whānau, she will be forever in our hearts.

No Church Service Tomorrow

Our service tomorrow 22nd February 2026 is cancelled.

This is due to the extended States of Emergency for the Waipā and Õtorohanga Districts. While this has not impacted Rangiaowhia directly, some communities across the district still remain affected with ongoing response and recovery efforts in place.

Please join us as we pray together for whānau and communities affected by this devastation.

We look forward to seeing you at next month’s service Sunday, 22nd March 2026.
