St Patrick's Basilica 125th Anniversary

Last Friday 8th November SKC Junior school students bused into the St Patrick's Basilica to join with St Joseph's Primary school in a special Mass to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Basilica's opening.

The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Michael Dooley with Chaplain Fr Wayne Healey. Students from both schools combined to share in the congregational Mass ministry's as well as combining choirs.

For a number of students it was their first visit inside the historic Basilica and a chance to see its impressive Oamaru stone architecture up close.
