We have few Cathedrals to boast about in NZ but St Mary of the Angels is beautiful and worth a visit. It is on a small scale compared to the rest of the world but it still holds it own. If you can try and make it for a latin Mass on Sunday mornings. 11am (but check to be sure).... More

A stunning building and amazing stained glass windows that could absorb your attention for hours. Lovely and peaceful. High ceilings catch your attention . A lovely place to sit and reflect - i left reluctantly..... back to the real world. Thoroughly recommend a visit to this beautiful church - it certainly deserves to be experienced. More
