Welcome
to the Roman Catholic Parish of
St Francis de Sales
in
Island
Bay, Wellington, New
Zealand.
There
are approximately 2,200 registered Catholics in our wider Parish of
approximately 12,000 people, of which about 400 regularly participate in
our Saturday Vigil or Sunday
Masses.
One
of the unique features about our parish is the large number of
parishioners of Italian
descent.
The
Parish includes a primary-intermediate school, adjacent to our church
building which has 260 pupils and 14 teaching staff.
Our
parish is named after Francis de
Sales, a bishop and scholar, who was
born in 1567 and died in1622. Francis
is also the patron saint of the deaf.
We
hope that this website provides you with basic information on all of the
activities, ministries and other groups in our parish – and gives you
a good insight into the nature of our parish.
Please
contact us if you have any questions or comments about the parish.
God
bless you and your family
