There are seven Catholic parishes in the mid and far north of Northland. Five of these are ministered to by the Marist Community based in Okaihau. The North Hokianga Pastoral Area is under the care of Fr Ricardo Bugas (MSP). Fr Pat Littlewood (MHM) ministers in the Kaitaia region.

As the Parish Programme Facilitator in Northland my role involves working alongside these priests and communities in order to provide resources and to support parish programmes. The programmes currently running are indicated in this diagram.
