Faith in Action

Mission and Evangelisation

"All men and women are called to belong to the new people of God. Wherefore this people, while remaining one and only one, is to be spread throughout the whole world and must exist in all ages, so that the decree of God's will may be fulfilled.” (Lumen Gentium, #13).

Mission Minded

When we put our faith into action we live and share the Joy of the Gospel.  We put our faith into action bringing the Good News to all.  As disciples we do this together in community.  The role of the Mission and Evangelisation Team is support people of the diocese in being Missionary disciples. We provide a wide range of information, resources and support for parish and ethnic communities in the diocese regarding pastoral planning as outlined in the Mission Map.

We commit ourselves to ensure that all the faithful in our diocese are enabled to answer the universal call to holiness through active participation in the life and mission of Christ as implemented by the Church.

Ethnic Chaplaincy Support

People from many nations have come to Aotearoa New Zealand and made it their home. Along with the pots and pans they have

Handbook for Migrant Chaplaincies

This is the latest edition of the “Handbook for Migrant Chaplaincies” for use in the Auckland Diocese.  It is the result of consultation with Deaneries and Migrant Chaplains and is intended to be a resource and a directive for both Chaplains and Parish priests. Through its use we trust that the migrant peoples who come to our diocese are more easily welcomed into our faith communities.

Pastoral Worker Support

A number of parishes employee lay people or permanent deacons in the role of pastoral worker. 

The Parish Pastoral Worker works in partnership with the priests and pastoral council of a parish or in many aspects of faith community life.

  • Relating – Building community through quality relationships and pastoral care. Being mindful of the needs of people for spiritual nourishment and practical care.
  • Animating – Bearing witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ and encouraging involvement in existing and new initiatives of faith community life.
  • Praying  –  Enhancing the prayer and worship of the parish community through coordination, support and encouragement for participation. 
  • Educating – Promoting lifelong learning in the Catholic tradition and in Christian living.

The Diocese offers advice and guidance to those in this important role and provides opportunities for pastoral workers to gather for formation and support.  Contact Mission Support for more details.

Parish Secretary Support
