SAMOAN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY GROUP

There are 25 Samoan Catholic Community groups that are a sub-division of their local suburban Parish that make up the Auckland Diocese Samoan Catholic Community.

The Mangere Central Samoan Catholic Community is a sub-division of the St Anthony Parish at 20 Kirkbride Road, Mangere Bridge founded by a small group of Samoan families and parishioners in 1973 under the pastoral care of the Parish Priest and governed by a dedicated Leadership Committee.

Address: 20 Kirkbride Rd, Mangere Samoan Mass 3rd Sunday of month @ 10:30am
