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.
St Joseph's House of Prayer offers opportunity for Reflection,
Prayer & Rest.

In the porch of St Joseph's Church
Temuka where Mary MacKillop Herself once worshipped, she is
Honoured with this beautiful stained glass window. |
The Temuka Domain is quite close and provides opportunities for
walks in the gardens and sports area.
