Praise of encouragement and love!! Where we are now!!!
1 March 2026Kia ora koutou,
We are excited to share another update on the Te Pāriha o Raetihi Restoration Project.
Thanks to your incredible generosity and awhi, we are continuing to make steady progress toward our funding goal. Each koha, each share, and each word of encouragement strengthens this kaupapa and moves us closer to restoring our historic church for future generations.
At this stage, we have raised a significant portion of the funds needed, and we are actively working on securing additional funding to complete the project. The restoration of this treasured building is not just about preserving timber and nails — it is about protecting our history, our faith, and a sacred space that has held baptisms, weddings, tangihanga, and countless moments of connection for our whānau and community.
Your belief in this vision means everything to us. We are truly humbled by the support shown near and far. Please continue to share our kaupapa and keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we move into the next stage of fundraising.
We will keep you informed as milestones are reached.
Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
Ngā mihi nui,
Te Pāriha o Raetihi Restoration Project
