Pope Leo's Prayer Intention for June 2025

That the world might grow in compassion...

Let us pray that each one of us might find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus, and from his Heart, learn to have compassion on the world. 

What's New?

Welcome Fr Simione and Fr Beniata!
 

We are delighted to warmly welcome our two new priests, Fr Simione Volavola MSC and Fr Beniata Bakatete MSC, to the Levin and Ōtaki parishes. As they begin their pastoral journey with us, we look forward to growing together in faith, community, and service. 

May their presence be a blessing to us all, and may we offer them the same warmth and support that makes our parishes so special.

Let us keep them in our prayers as they guide and serve our communities with faith, hope, and love.
 
Nau mai, haere mai – welcome!

Support a Student at St Joseph's School

At St Joseph's School, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive, participate fully in school life, and grow into the person God has created them to be. 

To help make this a reality, we're undertaking fundraising efforts to support students in areas such as attendance dues, uniforms, camps, etc. From time to time, these costs can place extra pressure on families - and your support can make all the difference.

If you would like to make a donation to support our students, please refer to the parish newsletter for more information.

Thank you!

Community Line Phone

Do you happen to have a little time on your hands? We are in desperate need of people to answer the Community Line phone.

This is a service to the parish which is not too taxing - the more people we share it with, for a week at a time, the less often you are needed. 

If you could do this, please contact Kilian on 022 695 0056

St Joseph's Parish Pastoral Council Meeting Minutes - May 13, 2025

Welcome to Fr. Simione Volavola MSC and Fr. Beniata Bakatete MSC

With great joy and gratitude, we welcome our new parish priest, Fr. Simione Volavola MSC, and our assistant priest, Fr. Beniata Bakatete MSC, to St Joseph's Parish, Levin.

As Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, both priests bring with them a deep love for God's people, a commitment to compassionate service, and a desire to walk closely with our parish community. Their journey of faith and ministry across the Pacific and beyond enriches us all, and we are truly blessed to have them among us. 

We look forward to sharing this new chapter with you both - growing in faith, hope, and love together. May your time with us be filled with grace, joy, and the warmth of a welcoming parish family. 

Nau mai, haere mai - welcome Fr. Simione and Fr. Beniata!

"I cannot call to mind that I have ever asked St Joseph at any time for anything which he has not granted; and I am filled with amazement when I consider the great favours which God has given me through this blessed Saint."
