Te Hāhi
Our Parish is part of a collection of 5 local churches in Porirua who form Te Hāhi Porirua.
Te Hāhi Aotearoa is a faith-based volunteer organisation that provides care and support to people impacted by family harm. Te Hāhi is made up of a collective of churches within local communities that partner with Police in providing this support.
HOW WE HELP
SUPPORTING FAMILIES
Our volunteers visit families on behalf of the Police, and offer awhi (support) in many ways - through kai, practical help around the home, or simply a listening ear.
SUPPORTING POLICE
Our volunteers also support and encourage Police staff in appreciation for their efforts and the burden they bear.
Click here for more information on the Te Hāhi website. If you'd like to get involved, contact the Parish Office.
