    Thanks to everyone who supported the restoration of St Augustine's over the summer months. We are so pleased that the project is now complete, with the addition of an official Heritage NZ plaque on the main doors. The church is looking beautiful and, with the new timber framing, will be well preserved for many years to come. We welcome you to come and take a look when you're next in Petone.

    We really appreciate all the support we've received from the community over the course of this Givealittle campaign. The extra income has been essential in contributing towards the unforeseen costs from this project. We are still short of our intended target, so any contributions you or anyone you know can make before we close this page on 28 February would be a massive help.

    After a period of bad weather, the sun has been shining today to allow Paradise Painting to complete the work on the church. We'd like to take the opportunity to thank them, as well as EBUILD, for their beautiful work on restoring our church building. While the work may be done, the final invoices are still arriving so any further support you can provide is very much appreciated. This page will only be up until the end of February.

    The scaffolding is coming down today and we are enjoying a much better view of our beautifully repainted church - thanks Paradise Painting! The internal building work will take a little bit longer as we are waiting on the arrival of custom timber. Any further donations (which includes sharing the link to this page) is still really appreciated as we have more funds to raise, but thanks for your support so far.

  • St Augustine's Restoration Update

      5 February 2026

    Kia ora koutou

    Thanks for your support so far. The builders have been making really good progress on St Augustine's, and the outside repairs are now complete. They have now shifted inside to complete a smaller repair in the parent's room (the other side of the affected box corner) . In the coming days the scaffolding will be removed to allow the painters to paint the base of the church, which will take 2-3 days. Already the new paint on the church and annex is looking really good and we are looking forward to seeing it without the scaffolding.
