WELCOME TO OUR PARISH
Prayer for Pope Francis
Loving God, we grieve for our beloved Pope Francis. Welcome him into your waiting arms. Envelop him in your eternal love. And comfort us in our mourning as we strive to continue to follow his Gospel example to encounter Christ in all people and in all places.
We thank you for the gift of Pope Francis. Through his life and teaching, you showed us how to love and serve one another, how to
hear the cries of the poor and the cries of the earth and respond in compassionate love.
Pope Francis, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of Sorrows, comfort us.
Amen.

Clergy Appointment List for 2025
Below is a Clergy Appointment List for the Archdiocese of Wellington for 2025. We are sad to announce that Fr Bruce England will be retiring as our Parish Priest of Levin after Easter. We have truly appreciated everything Fr Bruce has done for our Parish in the time he has been here and he will be greatly missed.
By the end of January, we will have two Missionary Priests of the Sacred Heart (MSC) come to join us at Levin - Fr Simione Volavola MSC and Fr Beniata Bakatete MSC. These priests will be working alongside Fr Bruce England until Easter and then they will assume pastoral responsibility for the parish.
As Fr Alan Roberts, Parish Priest of St Mary's Church in Otaki, is also retiring after Easter, our two new Missionary priests will be looking after both Parishes. While Fr Simione and Fr Beniata will be responsible for the pastoral needs of both St Joseph's Parish, Levin and St Mary's Parish, Otaki, it is important to note that both parishes will remain separate and there will be no amalgamation of the two. Both priests will reside at the Levin presbytery because Otaki does not have a presbytery.
