On Sunday 22 March 2026, the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit celebrated a Miha i Te Reo Māori.
The Miha was led by rangatahi from Hato Pāora College, who uplifted the celebration with their beautiful waiata.
Bishop John Adams is working towards diocesan priests using more Te Reo Māori in the liturgy, better reflecting our bicultural history and our partnership with tangata whenua.
