Where we are...

Temuka

Temuka was the first NZ foundation of the Sisters of St Joseph.
Three Sisters arrived in Temuka from Australia on 1 November 1883 at the request of the parish priest, Father Fauvel.
A special attraction is the fact that Blessed Mary MacKillop, Foundress of the Sisters of St Joseph, lived here on several occasions between 1897-1904.
There is also a small Museum Room where "Reminders" of the past are displayed.

In the porch of St Joseph's Church Temuka where Mary MacKillop herself once worshipped, she is honoured with this beautiful stained glass window.

Temuka no longer offers opportunity for Reflection, Prayer and Rest. The Sisters will be moving to a smaller residence in the near future.
