City-Wide Ministries

Citywide Parish Youth Minister – Tausilia McClutchie:

Kia Ora, Talofa Lava my name is Tausilia McClutchie, and I am the Citywide Parish Youth Minister for Palmerston North and Chaplain at Saint Peters College, Palmerston North. I am a proud Gizzy girl who hails from Ngāti Porou and Samoa. I have been in the role for the last 6 years. I am passionate about working with young people supporting them in their life/faith journeys and meeting them where they are at. Relational ministry is what I enjoy most and building relationships with the youth and their whānau. I never saw myself being a youth minister, but God works in mysterious ways and led me into this amazing ministry. I am proud to be Catholic although not without its challenges I want young people to feel the same way and feel called to share their faith authentically with others.
Kia tau te Rangimārie, peace be with you!

Tertiary Chaplaincy – Nick Wilson

Chaplaincy for tertiary students is active in the Manawatū area! Eucharistic liturgies are happening at the Chaplaincy Centre on campus – just across from the bus stop by the Science towers on Wednesdays during Semester time. There is a free lunch after where you can meet other Catholic students, lecturers and staff.

Nick the Chaplain is available to support you through, grief, transitioning from home to uni, and any big life issues. Nick is looking forward to meeting you!
