Cathedral Service for Christchurch Print E-mail

christchurch_cathedralOn Wed 22 February at 7pm there will be a service at St John's Cathedral in Napier to mark the first anniversary of the earthquake that took so many lives. 

You are also welcome to call into St Matthew's during the day and light a candle in remembrance.

Our thoughts and prayers are very much with the people of Christchurch as they remember this sad day and gather strength to rebuild their lives and cities.
