PARISH GROUPS AND ACTIVITIES
Passionist Family Groups
Are a vital part of the Hato Mere, Pukekaraka Community.
We currently have four groups at Pukekarka and another that was attached to the community of St Stephen's Church, Ohu north of Otaki which is in the parish of St Mary's. St Stephen's is now unfortunately in recess. They still meet from time to time informally. Family Groups provide an extended family for all who wish to belong – married, single or divorced, young, old or in-between. There is a giving and receiving by all members of the group to each other and everyone is most welcome to join one. ​​Our Leader Couple is Josie & Phil Mc Intyre. Everyone is welcome! If you wish to know more information contact the Office Administrator, Stephanie on 021 253 1080 who will give you their details.
​
St Vincent de Paul
Members of St Vincent de Paul are called to follow Christ through service to those in need and so bear witness to his compassionate and liberating love through person-to-person contact and they serve in hope.
We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month in the Faith room, within the main Church at 8.45 am, for one hour. Our meetings are a time for prayer and reflection on scripture and a chance to review what members have done for the month and a chance to take a look at our plans for the future in serving as Vincentians. If you are interested please contact our Conference President: Peter Mohan on 021 0267 4188, just ring or leave a text and he will get back to you.

​ Hato Mere Book Club
Meets about every 6 weeks, February to December through the year in member's homes. We are like-minded people who love to read books and discuss what we have read. We are limited to 10 members, (owning to the number of books that come in sets from the library). Vacancies do come up from time to time and when we have one we will post it in the weekly newsletter.
