Thanks and Reminders
Thanks to the producers of the Parish Newsletter for most of this message, and to Msgr Brian Walsh for celebrating Mass for us and engaging with Parishioners. Members may recall the earlier suggestion to go to events you would not normally attend, well, here are some
opportunities.
If you dont go to Mass often in the week, here are good reasons for a new habit :
St. Josephs School will be attending the 9am Mass on 5th February and there will be a Welcome Powhiri at the School at 9am on Friday 14th
February.
Sunday 16th February is a Parish/School Welcome Mass for Term 1.
On Sunday 9th February there will be a Tongan welcome at 9am for
Fr. Vince Onesi, our new Parish Priest for the Tararua Parishes. This is arranged by the local Tongan community.
This will be a great opportunity to engage with new people and reinforce a welcome to the Parish.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
