All who enter here be reconciled

The Pukehinahina Cross
Picture

The Pukehinahina Cross was carved by James Tapiata (nephew of Puti Rolleston), a parishioner. It has a greenstone Maori fishhook entwined around a cross, to remember Christ’s mission as a fisher of people, and to show the ties between Māori and Pākehā.

This cross is symbolic not only of our history, but who we are as a parish and a community.
