Earthquake Memorial Day

Mar 17, 2011

Tomorrow (Friday 18 March) the people of the city will gather in Hagley Park to remember those who lost their lives in the tragedy of the earthquake.

Earlier in the morning at Our Lady of Victories we will celebrate Requiem Masses at both 7.00am and 9.00am.

and all who sleep in Christ

find in His presence

light

happiness

and peace”
