Our Church, Our Taonga

The Year 4 Syndicate recently visited the church to look at the amazing taonga present inside of it. Fr Thige spoke to us about the important treasures within the church. These included (just to name a few) the chalice, ciborium, monstrance, and the tabernacle. We also walked around the church and looked at the 14 Stations of the Cross, the Crosses on the pillars (that represent the 12 disciples), and the 3 sacred oils that have been blessed by the Bishop. Once we had returned back to class, we talked about the taonga we saw, then wrote some amazing explanations. A special thanks to Fr Thige for his time and knowledge.
